Not only Aplle, but IBM and even Unix. This could put a real cramp in speech access since I know of no substantial speech access hooks in new stuff and only so so activity with present happenings. I have written to President Bush to see if he can jump start the feds where some very good people are having problems getting anywhere with this. Maybe others should be writing too. The A.D.A. and Section 508 of the Rehab Act should be suficient, but nobody pays attention, then nothing happens. Folks interested in my editiorial on it, can call 617-451-5327 during non-business hours and look at bulletin #2. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!101!460.0!Charles.Crawford Internet: Charles.Crawford@p0.f460.n101.z1.fidonet.org
