This is somewhat off topic, but I think should be of general interest to
everyone.
A good friend of ours just got married to a blind lady. Her job is
teaching other blind people how to use a computer. This involves not
only things like word processing and spreadsheets, but web surfing and
email. Technology has come quite far. Not to mention that "the blind
leading the blind" is transformed into something wonderful by a deep
commitment.
However, those who design web pages must "code" the pages so that they
use assistive technology (captions in tables, for example). Sadly, few
realize the need (which is one reason I mention this here--to heighten
the awareness). To make this apropos to BGreek, I'm quite sure there is
no support for blind people for transliterated Greek. There might
possibly be support for unicode. Something to think about.
And pray about.
