Why did you have to point out that he can see? I do not think of people being blind or sighted! I do not like it when blind people do this all of the time. I do not even think about my blindness most of the time, and I don’t think of people being blind or sighted. I don’t like labels. people need to stop doing this!

Maria,

            Please give up this kind of insulting rhetoric.  It's entirely uncalled for.

            I really don't care how old, or blind, or not tech savvy you are.  That makes not the slightest bit of difference that you, like all of us, have to go with the flow of the technology stream as it goes along.  You don't get to stop the world, nor do I, nor does anyone else.

            Given my track record here, and on a number of blindness related forums, your statements go beyond just insulting into outrageous.  I suggest you think, and a lot more deeply and carefully, before tossing out your baseless frustration at me as though that's justified.  It's not, period.  So stop.

BS.  You are not changing anything by not saying the words, because there is a difference, whether you acknowledge it or not.

I find it disappointing that when Brian has merely stated a reality,
that all of us have to deal with change in tech, that others respond
with mean-spirited criticisms and put-downs. Brian frequently responds
to listers’ problems with thoughtful, helpful responses, and I
appreciate his generous contributions.

Well, It makes a huge difference in how they use a PC and what kind of
experience they have when dealing with changes in how a PC is laid out.
Ignoring the difference between the way we have to deal with PC compared
to a sighted person is naive and and smacks of political correctness.
