It still amazes me when I read about something that's supposed to be
"accessible" when all that means is that you can use a computer with a $1400
copy of JFW to get access to it.  I'm a little older than some of you guys but I
always somehow thought that accessible meant just that rather than some
expensive work around.  The more things I see that require a computer to access
the less I seem to be understand exactly what accessible is.  Can you imagine if
any sighted person had to go drop over two grand ust to get access to their
radio or mp3 player or dvd or some such?  That would never happen in this world
and I really don't understand why the blind community puts up with and even
encourages it.
