[GTALUG] Linux growth (was: Vaccination Receipts on Linux)

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi Dave,
I am not sure I follow the connection between your example, and asking 
those    using adaptive technology if they are say using Linux at the 
command  line level, something often needful if you are going to use say 
speakup, a rather long standing Linux screen reader, and Linux itself.
Google's definition of access means  using their tools, which are, at 
least according to the several posts on their accessibility list, far from 
consistent, reliable, or functional.
