Well, no matter what your's or other's opinions are, some find it informative
and
I for one think it is useful for some to be reminded of the realities of
software
development costs and its complexities.
Spelling? Well, these days increasingly I find this is something that has to be
put up with, ocassionally from those who are paid up embers of the N U J or
whatever.

The spelling errors and sweeping statements tend to detract somewhat from any
truths being revealed here. I thought the connections beteween Access
Technology
and funding verses society were interesting but unfortunately not noval but
nothing much beyond that. Also the mention of Apple (including the spelling
mistakes of which the Apple brand name was one) I would humbly contend would
certainly be a matter for debate if not sweeping generalisation with those who
are
not Macintosh evangelists, and been there and got the T-shirt. The I read his
article it seemed to be that he enjoyed the fact that he had pissed off the ATG
and that they didn't want to talk to him, this is unlikely to adduce any
insight.
This may be a blog but it certainly isn't jourmnalism.

OK, subject line is a big claim, but this guy does tell us some home truths
about access tech.
Many have, maybe deliberately, tried to make out that I and other critics
have
it wrong about costs and technical realities. Well, I guess I'll have to live
with that, but I largely agree with what is said at the blogg belowe. that's
not
to say criticisms cannot be levelled else where; but this is a good place maybe
to start if an informed discussion is what you are interested in.
So, go to:
http://therangerstation.blogspot.com/
Then search for,
truth about assistive technology industry
This'll bring you to what the author describes as a rant about Vista and
assistive tech - although not the usual MS and other bad boys of the industry
sort
of bashing. Seems some interesting things are going to become apparant very
soon
now, re. Vista and new screen reader releases, and a flavour of this has already
surfaced on GW Micro's list, but enough for now.
HTH.
