As a blind person, I get concerned when I hear that the latest new shiny tech gadgets have touchscreens. But such is the way of progress, I suppose.
I have an EEE 901 (the xp version), which has the following:
- My screen reading software
- Office 2003 (the Star Office 8 crap that ships with it doesn't read at all)
- Firefox w/AdBlockPlus
- PuTTY
- Code::Blocks
- Winamp + XP Codec Pack
Now, if only sound that didn't go through Microsoft's DirectSound was played at the same volume as sound that was. This is really annoying when you're trying to listen to music and read Slashdot or something and the music totally dwarfs your text-to-speech software in volume.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is ... please, if you're going to put touchscreens on things, leave the keyboard and give an option to reduce or turn off touchscreen sensitivity. There's nothing worse than trying to type and getting thrown into a completely different app.
...Now, get off my lawn! *waves cane menacingly* No, I'm not old, that's just a fun meme
