Greetings fellow Squeakers,

I am legally blind.  I see about five percent of "normal".  I use speach
software to read large volumes of text on the computer screen.

I use Squeak effectively by changing the colors and using the excellent
font support to support glyphs I can read.  For the less cooperative
windows there is always the screen reader.

Strangely enough, I've been using Squeak primarily for design graphics and
to design a photo catalog that cares less about what OS it's running on.
Jacaranda, connecters, and the graphics system are extremely useful.

As for having to use stegnographic techniques (obvescated letters in a
bitmap) to ensure that evil little minds don't ruin our space, I'm all for
it.  I have ways of dealing with bitmaps, in and out of Squeak.

I agree that there are accessibility issues in Squeak.  However, the true
thinker will see them as opportunities to improve the universe.

squeak is seriously cool!
Thanks much to you all,
