Hi Trouble,
I've got an open mind for a lot of things. I just get sick and tired of
feeling so small every time I don't know how to do something, or know how to
do it but can't quite do it well enough for it to work. And if everybody
else can do it, then that really shows me where I stand in the social
circle. I know, call me a perfectionist. I admit it myself. I just haven't
got patience for making mistakes, if those mistakes are likely to slow me
down. It embarrasses me. That's why I no longer perform music. I much prefer
composition since there is room for mistakes in that, because you can turn
the mistake into a musical transition or make it sound nicer than it
otherwise would have been. The same with a game. I often find that if a bug
gets reported, if I can't outright fix it, then I'll try and turn it into
something that is part of the game. But even then, programming is supposed
to be hard, whereas simply using a device isn't supposed to be.
Regards,
Damien.

Damien.

You better hang on to that phone as long as you can, because even support
for the new nokias are going. Even the new nokia is moving to touch.
Everyone can learn new things in time, but it takes a open mind to want to
learn it.

Hi Brian,
What I'm trying to say is, the very nature of a touch screen device makes
it seem rather inaccessible, no matter how many attempts and tweaks you
make at it. It'd be like giving a computer user a mouse, a screenreader,
but no keyboard. The fact is, blind people cannot see the screen, so it
would take them way longer than should be necessary to access things that
could be accessed in seconds.
As for the button-style cases, again. Good plan, if it weren't for the
fact that the screen was constantly changing, and therefore you're still
tapping, or pressing, for longer than necessary, trying to find what you
need. There are only two buttons on a Simbian based Nokia at least, that
change on a regular basis. Those are your two soft keys, and talks always
announces them to you before you even press them.
Regards,
Damien.

I'd say that the fact that Apple attempted to develop a way to make touch
screens accessible is a big score in their favor, not an attempt to con
the law.
Are you threatening me? I am the great Cornholio! I come from Lake
Titicaca!
