Ask HN: How do I put together a computer for my blind mom?
The Internet is not blind friendly. It sucks, and we need to do better, but for now, blind people are mostly locked out of the Internet.OS X has some really nice screen reading/accessibility stuff builtin and you can have it do things like read books from the iBook's Store out loud. Mail.app has some support for voice control if you're willing to get it all setup before giving her the computer.
