Janina, I agree with you in general, but in my opinion it is not a very bad things when developers have our needs in mind. Those of us who used DOS operating system in the past should remember how many DOS applications included support for blind users and therefore made our life easeire even when some of us used screen reader with very poor functionality. Therefore I am very pleased that some of the linux developers follow such a good practise. -- With best regards, Sergei.
