[Electronics-Talk] Using Garage Band on the IPhone

screenless switchers podcast may have some help as well as 
http://www.icanworkthisthing.com/ don't try using lynx to connect or you 
get an error 406 but the links browser works real well and safari for 
sure works.  That was one of the sites I used after articles appeared in 
the braille forum and braille monitor complaining that ios 10.4 tiger 
was inaccessible and both articles turned out to be seriously wrong.  I 
found how to configure my mac mini to optimize accessibility and 
prevented Apple from getting sued a couple times.
