Would someone please send me a list of Mac keyboard keystrokes and some 
names of fun, accessible games for the Mac.  I am conducting a class this 
weekend that will focus on the fun that can be had on the computer with 
games that are accessible by people who are blind.  Windows games would be 
great to get as well.
Thanks group.

Re: [Trainer-talk] iPhone 4 information






Hi

I've had the iPhone 4 for around five months now, I have no vision at
all.  I find it completely accesible and one of the most magical
pieces of technology I have ever used.

It is just different to a Nokia with Talks, but it honestly took me
less than a week to feel totally comfortable with it.  There are a ton
of podcasts and guides to be found, I find

www.AppleVis.com

very useful, especially the reviews of aps from an accessability point of 
view.

If your still not sure in a few days, let me know and I will give you
some pointers via Skype.  I doubt we'll need to though, it's really
lovely to use once you get used to it.
