[u-a-dev] ALViC- Accessible Linux for Visually Challenged Release

[Balaram]

Hello,
I am  using vinux which is based on Ubuntu 11.04.
There are  many features which your new release  hasn't got.
for example, monitor toggle.
This feature allows us to turn off the monitor at our wish.
Volume control.
Insert+ page up, page down ETC.
Again, Insert+a will speak the battery status, insert+t time, and 
insert+d date.
So many of those.
I don't understand why we are wasting time on those things on which 
people have already worked.
Hope, instead of getting offended, we will be able to think the right way.
Best regards,

P. Balaraman.
