[Arizona-students] I-Tunes Announcement

[Ryan Thomas]

Hello All,
    For now there will just be an investigation as to the accessibility of 
the site.  I know that I have personally heard complaints.  Just because one 
person can use something successfully doesn't necessarily mean that it is 
fully accessible for all.  We've seen this in many circumstances as blind 
citizens.  There is no harm in looking into the problem and discovering 
whether it is something that enough people have had trouble with.  If enough 
people have found it difficult to use it is a simple thing to work with 
apple in an attempt to make their site more easily accessible to the blind. 
I urge anyone to please contact the national center with your experiences. 
Whether positive or negative they will help us in the future.

Sincerely,
Ryan Thomas
President
Arizona Association of Blind Students
