Hi Devin, This is exactly how the program is structured. In trees. Theres nothing new there. Nothing changes to the way you handle things. It’s just graphicsless. the actions and moving are the same. And I don’t think it’s about because it didn’t work then, it won’t now. Different techniques a

Yeah, having to type all those path names and such? I'd not call that easy, unless the terminal and command line on windows are not good examples of a CLI. Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 6, 2015, at 5:06 PM, DD wrote: > > On Tue, 6 Jan 2015, Sean Murphy wrote: > > > "The CLI on the Mac does p

If people want to do an open source solution of what have been outlined here, go for it. I would be very interested to see if anyone would take it up. A lot of work. There was a screen reader on the windows which used a tree view like structure to navigate the GUI. It was a German product from m

Hi all, I have to go against the grain. If you think Apple or any other vendor is going to spend time on building a non-graphical environment as outlined on this thread. It will not occur due to no market. We are .5% of the market thus there is no business requirement for them and they will n

Maybe just beam the voice over computations to the GPU with all graphics down. That's a great idea. The UIKit will still be loaded but no graphics. it would be like having a multitasking, mouse or trackpad enabled unix front. One of the issues I see with graphicsless is for safari. But then that

The tricky part is you give up the economy of scale by adapting a mainstream interface. Sure, somebody could make a one-off version of a GUI OS without the GUI but then every time some new product or other comes out, how well would it function under the special OS? For those who have read much
