in 1990, when OutSpoken for the Mac came out and I was using it at my  
place of employment, I was asked to demonstrate it as a visually  
impaired computer users group in Boston, MA.  I got up there and  
demonstrated it with four part harmony and feeling, and the guy from  
MS got up and started asking me "what can't you do with the mac? are  
there programs you can't use? tell me about that."  I started to say  
that some programs were inaccessible, and he interrupted me and said  
"well there you go; it's not a real solution."  I blew up at him,  
called him several names and then asked him to demonstrate how his  
graphics programs and even some of the mainstream DOS products were  
not accessible--this is *BEORE* VocalEyes came out, I believe.  I was  
shouted down and told to leave, and take my Mac with me.  That's what  
happens when you think outside the blind box.
