As a blind person, I still very much prefer pulldown menus rather than
ribbons, and I use Outlook Express because it is user friendly and for a
visually impaired person, it! works! Why be forced to switch from what
works well to what doesn't only because it is newer?

Hi charlse.
i do agree, particularly since a lot of the changes in windows 7 are
cosmetic at best (heck, nobody blind or sighted likes the ui either but
microsoft are forcing people to use it since you can't buy a new computer
without).
The same goes for other programs and products too, for example microsoft
outlook express is by far my favourite male client since it does what I
want and no more. I've tried windows messenger and indeed thunderbird on
windwos 77, but both had the practice of chuck as much at the screen as
possible, so that a bazillion functions and controls were all over the
place, indeed this seems to be a regular thing with all modern ui's,
instead of having different functions in different windows, menues and the
like that could be open, stuff is just chucked everywhere regardless.
This works on a tablet with a touch screen because you have the spacial
relations to go on, ---- though even so I do miss just pressing one letter
to instantly find something, however without! a touch screen that sort of
thing is murder, or at least it seemed that way given the several hours I
spent with a win7 machine trying to work the blooody thing out and
constantly having stuff change position and muck about on me.
yes, I could get used to it, but why should I if there aren't any actual
new functions on the computer that would help me do what I do better?
Beware the grue!
Dark.
