<p>I overall think the <a href="/tags/opensource/" rel="tag">#OpenSource</a> technology world/sphere is about 70% there in development of systems, that everyone can use with a reasonable amount of effort, but the lapse set is affordability and <a href="/tags/disabilityaccessibility/" rel="tag">#DisabilityAccessibility</a> (mostly for mobility issues). Likewise it's mostly in the <a href="/tags/hardware/" rel="tag">#Hardware</a> not <a href="/tags/software/" rel="tag">#software</a> nor <a href="/tags/os/" rel="tag">#OS</a> spheres, (70/10/20 split) which is why not finding much if any chatter on the Hardware problems is so disheartening, because it needs the most work.</p>
