Goodness, Cara. Bless your heart. I appreciate you stepping up and saying
something. I know I contributed to a small degree, but I assure you I tried
to be incredibly sparing, if at all. I do agree it was getting a little
outta hand, so thanks for this quick note; it's appreciated greatly. Had
you not said anything, I probably would a written privately.

Oh here we go, they haven’t released it yet and you’re all already bitchng
about it.
How many people did I hear piss and moan years ago when touch screens came
out. Oh I must have a physical keyboard. Phones will be inaccessible with
out physical keyboards, I need to have a screen reader to install in my
phone to use with my physical keyboard. Then bam, Apple releases the iphone
and here we are all using touch screens.
Then people bitched about the loss of the old multi pin connector in place
of the lightning and it hasn’t even happened yet but people cry about the
loss of the headphone jack and now this touch bar. Stop it already. Unless
you’ve used one you can’t comment with any degree of meaning on whether it’s
any good or not. Let the product come out, let people review it first or
jump in like some of us do but try it before you bash it. With the line of
thinking on this list sometimes we’d all still be using holes punched in
paper and an abacus trying to get jobs at Google. An the first person who
says the abacus is better than a scientific calculator or beads are our
friends or what ever gets smacked about the head and shoulders with a trout
until they stop.:)
I’m tired of it. IF you want to be luddites that’s fine and your choice but
come on, the same old tune is getting old. Ihave a PDP-11 taking up space
if anyone wants it to get off the progress band wagon.

If they replace the function keys with the touch sensitive bar,I along
with probably most of this list will lose a lot of respect for them as a
company. I understand that they're supposed to integrate touch ID into
this bar, but there are several other places on the machine itself or
touch ID could be integrated without having to lose physical function
keys. I have a feeling the Tim Cook led Apple is valuing form over
function, which for people with disabilities, isn't always the best idea.
Lenovo attempted this no function key idea with one of their machines, and
guess what? It absolutely bombed, even for people that did not have a
disability.

I think the touch bar is stupid, enough said.

Hi there,
Rumor has it that the soon forth coming Mac book pros will feature a
touch bar instead of function keys on the keyboard. This raises an
interesting question. Assuming that Voice Over is turned off on any one
of the new Mac book Pros that a blind user goes up to, how is a blind
person supposed to turn on Voice Over if there are no physical function
keys but instead a touch bar? I think maybe I can guess. If a blind
person needs to turn on Voice OVer, it should be possible by pressing
VO+touch anyware on the bar and that should do it. Or else, triple tap
the bar to turn Voice OVer on. I can almost imagine the e-mails now.

blind built-in

Still a very happy Mac, Verizon Wireless iPhone6+ and Apple TV user!!!!!
