-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Janina Sajka: # I'm not sanguine about getting mainstream to incorporate accessibility # Heck, our own little Linux community screamed bloody murder when GDM # incorporated a beep so that those of us beginning to use the GUI desktop # might now when the GUI login was up and. One lousy beep, and that's too # much to ask. the problem I noticed with the beep is that it seems it can't be easily turned on or off, or maybe I'm wrong about that. I only delt with GDM for a short time when I was running Fedora on one of my laptops, and the beep was on by default with no easy way for me to turn it off. I am proposing a system where the "accessibility features" are turned off by default, but they are very easy to turn on, eitherwith the single press of a command key or by speaking a voice command similar to the "announce" command on some of the LG phones. # nd here you think Sharp, Sanyo and Sony are going to run # to add support for eyes-free operation on their hand helds? I think they could actually benefit by doing so. For one thing, it translates into at least a few thousand more sales. For another, it brings some much needed tough competition to the assistive technology market. # What are you smoking? Hopefully the money-hungry companies who are currently pricing their products much higher than most of their customers can afford to pay. Lorenzo - -- Keep American Idol great!
