ABSOLUTELY the number of visually impaired users that I have heard lament the degrading of accessibility over the years is never ending it seems. one nice thing about linux is that it still has the "command line" built in even if hidden and just opening a terminal window (or having the computer boot into terminal mode) will allow almost all features to still be used even if sometimes a little crudely. Linux is also suffering from GUI'ism. Bob On Tue, 19 Aug 2008, Ryan Jean wrote: > > Is it just me or does it seem like DOS was a lot more accessible to users > than Windows?
