is ubuntu good?

[John G Heim]

I'd move heaven and earth to avoid asking for sighted assistance. But 
I'll admit that attitude is somewhat irrational. The only justification 
for it is that I am president of the International Association of 
Visually Impaired Technologists and it's important for me to know if 
there is any  way possible to get something done. But that's really just 
a rationalization. Really it's just stubbornness.
