I regularly use a long distance train that has an entrance and bathroom accessible for wheel chairs, but where the seats are only numbered in ink )no braille). On the other hand, all ATM machines in Portugal have a spoken menu for VI people, but they are only now thinking of adding an interface using pictures (a deaf from birth has a great dificulty learning to read). These aren't cases of "mutually exclusive", but rather of not thinking broadly. How expensive would it be to have special trains only for VI people? André PS: I cross-posted to gnome-accessibility because I think the topic is broader than one Linux distro. _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list gnome-accessibility-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list
