Those of you who know me, know that I can be a proponent for the Mac computer (understatement?), even though most of the accessibility we've used in the past has been Windows-only software. Well, times they are a-changing, slowly but surely.
Here's a link to some great, easy to understand, explanations on how to make Mac with OSX more accessible. The website is about accessibility for the Apple and Mac, and has some great articles on new applications and news items.
Check it out at http://atmac.org/series/mac-accessibility-101/
Not all of the articles are specific to the field of visual impairment, but it's been great to read that there are people out there who are trying to make the Internet specifically, and the computer generally, accessible to people with disabilities. Sooner or later, we'll all need to take advantage of some of these adaptations, so support the movement for Web Accessibility by reading and talking about it with your friends. As President-Elect Obama (and I'll be changing that to President Obama as of tomorrow!) has said, "Change is Coming." Embrace it!!
