Well, here's an example of how accessibility can have several
meanings. The aspect of a11y (accessibility) for blind and disabled
users is the need for full a11y; the user needs to access the whold
computer and not just part of it or none of it in some cases. But
whenit comes to outside users or intruders, the goal is then to
minimize a11y because you don't want your system compromized.

Actually Lisa, if you want to have a little challenge which I'm sure
you could break, I would invite you to see if you could force my
computer to talk from a remote position <smile>. I could drop one
hint as to a running server and then see if you could use a remote
computer to make my computer start talking with speech and say what
you want it to.
