[gui-talk] Looking for laptop articles on AFB access World

[Joel Deutsch]

Gerald,

by short lie cycles, I take you to mean short product lives in the 
marketplace, rather than meaning that they break down really quickly? Yes?

On a second point, what do you mean by saying that ordinary laptops don't 
have audibility features? My Dell desktop PC doesn't have any such features, 
either, and didn't until I installed Jaws and Open Book. So how could 
Windows laptops be any more delinquent in this sense, with leaving out the 
Mac with Voice Over again?

Joel,

Because laptop and netbook models tend to have very short product life
cycles, the blind publications rarely review specific models.  Even Consumer
Reports has a hard time keeping up with rapid changes in models and
features.  The blind publications prefer to review adaptive technology
products that have a relatively stable product life cycle.  Also, laptops
and netbooks are mainstream products which, by themselves, lack special
adaptive enhancements, except, of course for products like the IPhone 3GS
and the Mac with Voice Over.
