There are screenreaders for Unix derivatives, like Linux.  Some of those
screenreaders are portable to other Unix variants like *BSD and
even Mac OS X (yes it's Unix under the hood).  I guess some companies still
hold the trademark on Unix but I'm using it here as a blanket term to
cover all Unix-likes and Unix-derivatives.  The focus for BLVUUG is free
Unix-derivatives, so the target isn't Mac OS X users, even though OS X
is BSD under the covers.  If someone is doing accessibility stuff with
Solaris (or its several free forks like openindiana), that is also
copacetic.

So yeah, I'm sorry, Unix is kind of nebulous, but I'm aiming for a "big
tent" here.
