[stylist] Writer's Rant: Unchain Me from This PC!

Hi Donna,

This reads fine. Granted, your intro is a great hook, and you draw the
reader in, then sort of change to your accessibility rant--but I wouldn't
change it. And of course, all blind folks will relate. I tried to donate
money on idiagogo on Monday, and ran into an inaccessible drop down box.
Arrggh!

The woman who used to be secretary of our NFB chapter had one of those mini
laptops that only cost like $400, and somehow she installed Jaws on it. I've
emailed her asking her for more info that I'll pass along to you.

My other thought is simply using the voice recognition software on a smart
phone. I don't do this, but I have a blind friend who emails himself notes
and what not while traveling. He says it's surprisingly accurate, and he can
always edit on his laptop when he gets home.

Finally, I just want to tell you that your blog is really great. It's so
nice to have everything accessible and logical. 

Chris
