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

Hi there,<br>
I&#39;m blind, and I use Unix from the text console. &nbsp;I&#39;m interested in<br>
trying out Plan 9. &nbsp;It appears to be a very clean system. &nbsp;Are there any<br>
blind people in the Plan 9 community? &nbsp;If so, I am very interested in<br>
hearing from them.<br>
