ADA Wank, with a side of Mac Vs. PC and Liberal Vs. Conservative!
So, two California women are suing Apple for alleged accessibility violations in its SF retail store. The comments on the article are, needless to say, wanky, with some complaining about the liberal activist agenda, allegations that the women are just out to make a quick buck, and the occasional disabled person chiming in on both sides of the issue.

Also, WTF is a "standing wheelchair?"

	Wordy McWord. I was going to express similar thoughts, but mine would have been seriously teal deer. And I am also totally blind. Glad to see I'm not the only one? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I use a screen reading program which converts the text on a website to speech. The one I use costs hundreds of dollars, which means it works better than most of the commercial text-to-speech software I personally know about. But there are some things I am simply never going to be able to take advantage of. Cat macros, for example, will always be totally lost on me unless people alt-tag their images.

Does that answer your question?

	I still have residual vision, so I can wank away thanks to a 32" monitor, zooming/text to speech software, and a squished nose! OneBlindMouse (Reply to this)(Parent)
