How effective are suits? We still don't have tactile currency. We spent lots of money, most blind people can well not afford to cause the treasury to make the currency tactily accessible. It isn't

And do you know why the developers of Webvisum abandoned it? Because they finally got sick and tired of trying to keep up with Mozilla’s constant updates and changes to Firefox. Gerald

Amazon's commitment to accessibility is questionable at best. They are constantly tinkering with their web site, often to the detriment of blind customers. Some Amazon customers on other lists have

"... But no company should be expected to go back to throwing open the gates; that's just not realistic, and that's the sad truth even if absolutely no workaround exists." and that's why some/most

Another area of great frustration is the inaccessibility of most virus protection programs. Even when one version is accessible, the next version turns out not to be so. Hey, you all, ain't it a

Thanks, Brian. I didn’t know they were still doing patches, but they once worked quite well back in the ‘90’s. I forget the error we all got when we tried to update via the JAWS menu, but I

If obstacles are not resisted, nothing will ever happen, and how will it be known that they are obstacles? Also, change more often than not doesn't happens just because it is the right thing to do,

Which means that when Firefox 45 is released in the near future, the only means for solving image captchas for us blind folks will be Rumola, unless you hang onto an earlier version of Firefox that

if enough blind users complain.

Adrian, And needs other than your own, and your community's, are real as well. And the fact that those sometimes trump those you hold as highest is a part of life. I have not
