[Blindapple] mac os7 and outspoken

[Blake Roberts]

Jayson, I'm in favor of changing the list name to avoid future confusion.
Perhaps you could call it BlindApple2E or something similar to make clear
what Apple product is being discussed.

Hi,

List owner/moderator here, with an explanation of why some people think 
this list might be about Mac/iOS stuff, and why it probably shouldn't be.

I created this list near the end of 2004. At that time, I had an 
interest in revisiting the Apple II series of computers. For that 
matter, I still do, and thanks to MESS, this dream has become a reality, 
even for those who don't have real Apple equipment. In 2004, the iPhone 
didn't exist. The iPod probably existed in one form or another, but 
probably was yet another piece of totally inaccessible technology. I 
haven't done my research on this subject, so someone please correct me 
if I'm wrong. Also, afaik, VoiceOver hadn't been made available on the 
Mac, making that computer much less popular within the blind community 
than it would ultimately become. In short, modern products and software 
from Apple weren't being used by the blind to nearly the extent they are 
today, so I felt safe in calling my list Blind Apple Discussions, 
figuring anyone who subscribed would probably know I meant the older 
Apple II computers. But now things have changed. Do you think I should 
change the name of this list to make the intended topic clearer? Or do 
you think it's good as things stand, with the occasional off-topic Mac 
or iOS/iPhone-related question? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
