[games_access] BBC develops accessible educational games

[d. michelle hinn]

Hi Jonathan,

No worries -- I know how things go when you don't 
get to see the preview of an article before it 
goes to press. It's definitely not a big deal in 
my book -- it happens. It's just too bad when it 
does but the authors are so often dealing with 
work count issues that sometimes they can't even 
help but shorten things.

Agreed -- what happened to the accessibility 
foundation is quite unbelievable -- it just 
doesn't seem fair when things like this happen.

Also, if there's a demo or ppt that we can show 
at GDC of the jam stuff, even if we can't make it 
fully available, to show what you're doing, 
please let me know and we can include it in the 
accessibility arcade session.

Michelle
