Karen: I was on several of the WGBH pilot survey panels and so on discussing DVS. That was back about 1993 or 1994, I was living in the area then. Secondly, I know for a positive fact that every episode of Star Trek the Original Series and The Next Generation *IS* described, at least on the DVD. So, that means that there's really no excuse for NOT having an undescribed version, right? That's my theory anyway.
Lastly, because I've probably already been banned, my definition of "accessible," means that I should be able to take it out of the box and make it work, talk, switch menus, cook my food, whatever. I do NOT consider accessibility to be full if sighted assistance (or any other kind!) is essential at any stage, except insofar as regards expert repair type access. Until the cable box that's up on my shelf talks me through every single menu, whether it be the pay per view porn or the schedule for a football game, it's not accessible, and doesn't meet MY standards, and I will do whatever necessary to bridge the gap for me. And, I was just going on today about watching Star Trek TNG (Described, in this case) on my Ipad, which I never dreamed I'd do, the Ipad being 100% accessible out of the box. So. It *IS* possible, and if we settle for anything less, we're … settling. • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
