One of my users in a previous job was completely blind. He, as it
happened, had written the Linux driver for his Braille keyboard; but
he, like me, would tell you - as should be obvious - that an operating
system designed to be driven completely with text is more accessible
than a GUI.
He never top-quoted either. It is beneath dignity.
