I think that in most cases people with disabilities can get by using alternate devices (I sure do!) so I think there's less urgency than something like internet accessibility where an inaccessible website means NO way to get that information in most cases. Also, the correct spelling is "Mac" computers, not all capitalised - "MAC" is wrong as it's not an acronym. For all those people who are now thoroughly confused about the appropriate capitalisation, here's a list: Weird caps: iPod, iPad, iPhone All caps: OS X, PC Initial caps: Mac, Windows, Zune Hope this helps - it's a mistake a lot of people make, so I'm trying to educate. Keep up the great blogging! Ricky Thanks for the link to ATMac, I agree that hardware accessibility is an area where most companies could improve mightily.
