This is an excellent post. Apple has done great things for the blind community without question. But when they break something it should be brought to their attention. No software revisions are without potential problems, and if these problems are pointed out, the odds get better that they will be addressed. I don't feel that just because Apple leads the way when it comes to mainstream accessibility that they are above reproach, but I also know that some of the issues people have reported on this list don't appear to be true for everyone. Let cooler heads prevail, we'll probably accomplish more that way. On May 10, 2012, at 9:44 AM, Ricardo Walker wrote:
