Hello Chris,
I don't know anybody blind using the system.
I actually don't know personally anybody using it. :)
But, although the system seems clean to me, I am afraid its use is rather
mouse-centric, which, for you, may be a huge downside. Plan 9, in my
opinion, is not suited for just-keyboard use, which you may possibly need...
But don't take this as a discouragement.
Ruda
