The iPHone is accessible and QST could be accessible as well. Not impossible, merely something that takes a bit of work that could payoff in the end. After all, if QST can be made accessible, perhaps the platform being used could be made accessible and the end result is more available publications. I try to look at these things from the 50,000 foot view when possible.
