@blindtech And WMobile, which I use, is a version of Windows. Just deved for phones/pdas and not desktops.

@blindtech I respect your oppinion re: the iPhone, I’m just not sure I fully agree with it.

@blindtech which means that there are similarities which need to be taken into acount.

@blindtech And I never said that Linux and Unix are the same thing. I know very well that they are not. However, Linux is Unix-based,

@blindtech To be honest I don’t have a lot of available what with work and school.

@blindtech if we would only give up Windows and switch to the iPhone.

@blindtech Also, I’m not disputing the accessibility of the iPhone, I’m disputing your assertion that the blind community would be more free

@blindtech BTW, aren’t you the guy who was the Blind DJ way back when?

@blindtech Linux is a Unix-based OS. Yes I understand the differences. Trust me, you’re not the only one who’s worked with other OSes.

@blindtech No, it’s not just my oppinion. You can’t develop for the iPhone unless you follow Apple’s set of rules, or jail break it.

@blindtech which is also a Linux, and so also a Unix derivitive, has accessibility.

@blindtech And I also agree that built-in accessibility is a good thing. But we’re not going to be free until the Android OS,

@blindtech Granted, I don’t subscribe to the view that WMobile is perfect, it has its problems.

@blindtech And please don’t call me sweetheart. That term of endearment is reserved for my boyfriend.

@blindtech OK, in a nutshell then, both Windows and the Mac/iPhone OS are proprietary. Except the Mac OS is more locked down than WMobile is

@blindtech Do you have any understanding of Linux/Unix, because if you don’t nothing I say is going to make any sense.

@blindtech Access I’ll give you. Freedom, on the other hand, not so much. You’ve traded one set of proprietary conditions for another.

@blindtech Because not all of us wish to buy into the Apple Cult.

@khoath Yes this is true about Magic. Although half the time I use those names because they’re somewhat humorous.

@msippi Have I ever told you two how much you really suck?
