Hi Janina, That's interesting what you say you've done and do with regard to w3c
I'd so love you to check out some of my employers web site and web based applications I'd be interested to know what you think of the Oracle product Oracle Service Cloud, Or business objects formily crystal reports, Doesn't matter what I say they ignore the accessibility situation because fancy is better than functional. -----Original Message----- From: 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Sent: Monday, 11 February 2019 1:39 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Wait, what happened to my wifi? Hi, Sandie: All I can say is that anyone who has known me over the years knows how devoted a Linux evangelist I've been. Heck, I'm officially a Linux Fellow of the Linux Foundation--for real. Having said that, I want to add that I've found it highly revealing how differently different web browsers handle various web pages. I can show you sites that only work under Chrome, or that work best under Safari, or best under Firefox. The differences are quite astonishing, actually. So, for professional reasons, as a Working Group Chair in the W3C, I'm likely to try to keep a multi OS environment going. Beyond that I've found there are some things I want to do with music and audio that I can't do on Linux, and I'm tired of waiting for the day I can do them there. Still, It's the OS I'm using right now, as I write this email. I'm on an Arch Linux tower machine running Speakup in a console with Mutt as my email client. While I also have Thunderbird open, and Apple Mail on my laptop, I default to mutt unless there's some reason to move to one of the other clients. Usually the reason that gets me to move is the need to clink on embedded links in an email message. When it comes to hardware though, I may agree with you. I'm not sure I like the idea of no physical function keys, and I certainly don't like the idea of no boot chime. That would make using a more modern Apple laptop a real nuisance in a triple boot environment. So, much as I like using Safari and several other Apple software apps, I'm unlikely to get another Airbook.
