[gui-talk] A question rejected by Kim Komando's screener.

[Don Moore]

Often we allow our blindness to be an excuse for disappointments we just 
don't understand.  I've never actually understood the concept, but after 
almost 62 years I know that it's a significant issue.

There are such issues as time constraints or the need for research that 
occur.  She has, over the years been very supportive and interested in 
blindness issues as she does have a visual impairment.

If you didn't whine too badly in your email, you'll probably get an answer 
personally or else it'll be in one of the tips in one of her email letters. 
Also posting the question on her bulletin board does work wonders.

Hi list members I sent an email today to Kim Komando after my question for
her radio show was rejected.  I was on hold for the first part of the show
and then got disconnected by accident.  When I called back I was told that
the question wasn't going to be used and they had pushed the wrong button
and  had intended to come back to me to tell me they weren't going to use my
question.  When you read it you'll understand why I am of the opinion that
I was rejected simply because I'm blind and we aren't of general interest
on  Sighted people's talk show reaching sighted people.  I don't think I'll
get  an answer hear because it is a little unusual, but here goes.  I got a
Sony  PSP for Christmas and have two games for it.  This portable is more
than a  game player it also can brows the Internet and music and videos can 
be
downloaded to it.  Obviously part of what this is for is so a user can play
 games online against opponents live.  Is there a way to use screen reading
 technology with this system?  also how limited is it's Internet browsing,
or maybe the question is how advanced?  If know list members have the
answer to that question, can anyone direct me to someone who does?  Oh Yeah 
one
of the games is a star wars battle front game.  hope to get sports  games
for it.
I pledge to  participate actively in the efforts of the national federation
of the blind to  achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind;
to support the  policies and programs of the federation; and abide by it's
constitution.
