I must admit to having little patience with statements like "you don't need to anything about ..." Makes me doubt the speakers powers of observation and analysis. Ever tried to teach a Windows user the GNOME or KDE desktops? They can't find anything because "the icons are all wrong." Well, of course they're not what they've previously learned. But none of this is really based in our dna. Not walking and talking, not knowing where to put a stamp on the envelope, not dialing a telephone, and certainly not using a mouse to shutdown a computer or create a new directory -- ooopps, I suppose I should have said "folder!" -- Janina Sajka, Director Technology Research and Development Governmental Relations Group American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) Email: janina at afb.net Phone: (202) 408-8175 Chair, Accessibility SIG Open Electronic Book Forum (OEBF) http://www.openebook.org
