Actually, the costumer service person sounded quite open to the idea of making Real Basic compatible with VO. She seemed to think, however, that the more blind people who go on record as being interested in the product, the more likely it is that the folks at the company who are in charge will stop and listen. So, rather than giving up, I suggest that we use our buying influence to sway software companies to make their products VO-compatible.

You might check that out. I might also remind them that a blind persons money is just as green as a sighted person's, and that by not making there software usable to someone that can't see, they are losing business. However, they don't sound overly interested in working with you, and when ever I get a response like that I usually just tell who ever that I'll just not buy their product and to have a nice day. I purchased a Macbook because I would rather use OS10 than Microsoft Windblows, and Apple opened the door for me to do so. If they make other products accessible, I will likely buy other things from them as well. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rafael Bejarano To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2009 5:43 PM Subject: Please help make Real Basic compatible with VO Hello everyone, I am working on getting the folks at Real Software to improve the accessibility of Real Basic for Macintosh. For those of you who do not know, Real Basic is a programming language that allows one easily and quickly to build applications on the Mac that also will work in Windows and Linux. The problem is that Real Basic is not currently accessible with VO. Customer service at Real Software has informed me that it will be more likely that Real Basic will be made accessible if a large number of visually impaired Mac users request improvements in accessibility, so I am providing a link to their feedback page for anyone who wishes to see another development platform available for the Mac. Please help.
