Our recent spout of mail on the topic of accessibility for the blind 
has covered an important topic.  But has Microsoft been listening?  
My wife subscribes to People, and in a recent article (Feb 10, 1997, 
p.39) there is a spotlight on Peter Wong, "Where Blindness is 
Irrelevant".

It seems that Mr Wong is a lead software tester in the company's 
Accessibility & Disabilities group.  He is shown working on 3 
computers simultaneously, according to the text, while "(i)n the 
background a synthesixed voice reads from his computer screens at a 
speed almost too fast for the averagee listener to understand."

Remember... If We don't do it, Someone Else Will.

Take care :))
