Help for a blind friend

[Jack]

Wow, I find that one hard to believe! I'm quite sighted and find emacs impossible to use. I'd hate to see how confused a less PC literate person fared.

nuisance,with a very large learning curve.

This is a Windows user we are talking about after all, and not an old Unix coder.
