You know, I’m kind of keen to wait until apple announce what they announce on Tuesday morning and then worry about it when the devices turn up on the world markets,
The way most people are talking is that this is the end of apple computers in a usable state for the voiceover using world. Lets remember that change happens everyday and so far we've got on and dealt with it as we need to,surprisingly enough to the point we're mostly able bodied people living good lives and doing a lot more with technology than a lot of our sighted pares, If something changes take time to work it out. But until we know what's happening lets not panic! Stress isn't worth the grey hairs. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Christopher-Mark Gilland Sent: Saturday, 11 June 2016 3:47 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: bar instead of function keys on new Mac Book Pros? E.T, we're not saying that Apple isn't taking things into consideration for us blind people. You're reading way too much into this!

Rumors be dammed. (smiles) Anyone who takes rumors that seriously needs to step back and simply wait for the reality check. That is common sense.
