Remember, Linux is free and there are many other distributions except for
RedHat. I myself am fond and a user of RedHat, but if they start fiddling
around with accessibility and turning Open Source OS into AOL OS, I guess I
will have to drop RedHat.
On the same note, GNOME Foundation and SUN are working on accessibility
hooks within an upcoming GNOME 2.0, which hopefully will revolutionize our
access to GUI in Linux.
