Martin, you entirely missed my point.  As it happens, I am not a windoze user
but that's not the point at all.  My point is what people are calling
"accessibility" is not accessibility but rather a work around.  If it requires a
separate computer for me to operate my radio or any other piece of equipment
that is not accessibility of the equipment.  It is only accessability of the
software and the basic equipment still remains inaccessible.  Personally I want
to be able to use a product without being tied to my computer in order to do it.
Otherwise, you can do nothing if your computer goes down and everything becomes
inaccessible.  Its a little like going to somewhere where the computerized cash
register is down and the people on duty are not capable of making change by
hand.
