James,  I took your tact and simply put down my age and disabilities and
will leave it at that.  From the wording in the beginning I think they
are skewing so that they will get support for a product they may be
developing rather than seeking true feedback.  


Merci!

Hi Dave and list,

Then again, if they get a mass response that their Iphone is not
accessible for us, they may take their usual attempt to make it somewhat
so!

Since the iPhone isn't accessible to blind and visually impaired
persons, this list isn't a very good choice for a source of respondents!
