Yes, perhaps. I always view Apple's accessibility solutions to be very much open to any disability. They're VoiceOver is often used by those with comprihention issues or reading difficulties. I don't see that I should constantly shout "blind" every time either. I'm the type to go out and buy video games and enjoy them as much as the next man for instance.

The first time, yes. Not the seventeenth time given that I've put him straight every bloody time and he's chosen to just ignore what I've explained totally, make no attempt to understand my points or engage in discussion, just making another post filled with am-dram `oh woe is me please protect me from the nasty Rowland who's being nasty to me' sympathy-hunting. Shame his attacks on me are based purely on his own malicious inventions about me - and they are, I'm sure of it, because I've corrected him so many bloody times. It's no accident, no honest slip such as we all make from time to time and for which I have infinite tolerance (if the mistake is admitted, that is) - it's deliberate malice. > Or is it always a lie like when you lied about the lack of fn key on > your keyboard, or you lied about killfiling james? It's a lie when James keeps insising on the same vicious bullshit about me no matter how often I correct him. >[snip] Rowland. -- Remove the animal for email address: rowland.mcdonnell(a)dog.physics.org Sorry - the spam got to me http://www.mag-uk.org http://www.bmf.co.uk UK biker?

I suggested that you needed to write `accessibility issues for the blind' when you referred to `accessibility issues'. You attacked me viciously and libellous because of that - just gratuitous nastiness on your part. > > The sad thing is that the guy was initially interested and dialogue was > > fine until something snapped. Until you got nasty, you mean. I'll admit I responded badly to your vicious insults and your appalling hypocrisy, but there you go: I've never been shy of admitting the fact that I'm a loony and therefore inclined to fly off the handle. What's *YOUR* excuse? That you're blind? Not so good.

And it's a nose that you'd not want to get lost up. Aside from that, I've no reason to dislike him at all.
