Wow, I find that one hard to believe! I'm quite sighted and find emacs impossible to use. I'd hate to see how confused a less PC literate person fared.

Ok, so maybe, I don't actually find it "impossible" to use, just a very major 
nuisance,with a very large learning curve.

This is a Windows user we are talking about after all, and not an old Unix coder.

I have heard and would think it possible that emacs would be the best interface for a blind person.
