[games_access] developing system for hearing impaired

["~:'' ありがとうございました"]

Karen.

nothing anonymous about my comment...
I'm well known on this list and don't always remember to add a  
signature.

if you use mail.app you may notice an "icon system that illustrates  
what sound effects are occuring"

in fact I developed and was using such a system in 2001, you can try a  
more recent version from 2004 here:
http://www.peepo.co.uk it links to a large number of games with audio  
and icons....
iirc batman comics used to use pow bash etc...

I remain skeptical as you neither describe what aspects you consider  
patentable, nor provide a link for those interested, or wishing to  
object.
