Fantastic, Michelle! Great line up, of hopefully sympathetic experienced
developers. Let's see how far sympathy stretches into know how.

 

By the way, I loved Noah's Sini-star (Williams Electronics) as a kid, but my
God, the second wave was tough. I'm sure he'd put his hands up and say that
game wasn't very accessible, very quickly. But that was 1982, and things
have come such a long way in the mainstream (cough, splutter, excuse me).

Hi all,

 

To break the suspense...here are the contestants for Accessibility Idol!

 

* Ernest Adams

)

* Noah Falstein (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah_Falstein)
* Sheri Graner Ray (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheri_Graner_Ray)
* Brenda Brathwaite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brenda_Brathwaite)

Now Brenda will not be at the session live due to travel snafus but she is
sending in a pinch hitter to present her design. :)
