It's also not fair to the Cash Manager program folks who make their accounting solution accessible. Regardless, it's nice to have options and even more so to have access to a program that has a huge chunk of the accounting software market.

Subject: Re: quickBooks accessibility has arrived! Good morning everyone, While improved accessibility to QuickBooks is a major step forward to say that blind people could never persue careers in financial management or manage their cashflow independently is rather over-the-top. A message such as this is mostly hype and a profound disservice to the blind! The accessible version of QuickBooks will certainly create more career opportunities and allow blind persons to manage their money with greater independence. To say that this was never possible until now is dead wrong! It's possible to promote products like this without failing to recognize the past accomplishments of the blind in this industry prior to the launch of the accessible version of QuickBooks. All the best.
