Sight Village 2007 - Mac and Braille support

[James Austin]

Hi folks,

I have just come back today from the Sight Village technology  
exhibition in Birmingham UK. It has run for the past fourteen years,  
and it was a very interesting experience.

I had a look at a lot of interesting stuff, but I spent yesterday  
afternoon quizzing the by three; Humanware, GW Micro, and Freedom  
Scientific about any plans they might have to allow Apple to support  
their products.

Humanware UK, did not know anything, they did not even seem aware  
that Apple was endeavoring to do this. Although they did seem  
genuinely interested.

Dan Weirich of GW Micro also seemed interested, and said that the  
would find out, so i will be in contact with him shortly to see what,  
if anything, he has found out.

Now for the really interesting news. According to Jonathan Mosen and  
one of his colleagues - possibly Eric Dammery, not sure - Apple have  
been in contact with Freedom Scientific to see what can be arranged.  
According to what I've heard, it looks quite likely that Freedom  
Scientific' displays will be supported, but don't take this as  
absolute proof  please!!!

All the best

Take care
James
