[games_access] BBC games, guide for accessible software, blind accessible client for Secondlife: games_access Digest, Vol 38, Issue 5

[d. michelle hinn]

As Barrie said, THANK YOU LYNN! :) The SIG isn't any one person, as 
you know, and I hope everyone feels good about the praise! I always 
appreciate your posts -- it helps remind me that what we do has an 
impact way beyond the "traditional" gamer and that having the 
opportunity to impact children who are learning to live with a 
disability. Hopefully games like what the BBC have created will help 
level the playing field (yes, I did JUST say that to a gaming list) 
and result in positive shared experiences with children without 
disabilities as well.
