Accessibility Hardware

[Darrell Shandrow]

Hi DarthLinux,

Unfortunately, that's not "real" accessibility.  Of course, it is for that
particular user if it is effective, but that is not how users with real
blindness or visually impairment use a computer.  There's so much more
available than that.  See a later message.
