operating systems pretty much know nothing about the interface capabilities of their users...this is more of a user interface issue...
that being said:
a) profoundly deaf people who are not blind are not really an issue at this point since the primary output of computers these days is essentially visual (not being insensitive, just pointing out the obvious)
b) profoundly blind people who are not deaf have relied on screen readers for some time...while they can appear crude to sighted people, I've seen some folks do amazing things with them...no doubt they can be improved...
c) Profoundly deaf+blind is a large problem in many dimensions although touch interfaces (e.g. Braille and others) can help (also useful as an adjunct to screen readers)
d) as pointed out else there are various degrees of these afflictions...sometimes something as simple as a magnifying glass is sufficient...and much depends on the individual as well...
I have worked with people in all these categories except for "c"...various versions of Windows, MacOS, and *nix all have useful tools...
sorry for the repost of an idea...
the question I raise is how to clean out the particle debris induced from and embedded into construction prior to pressurization...

welcome to the world of visual perception http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_perception what you think you see is only related to what is actually out there... _k
spot one... we're currently using 1280x1024@120Hz... sorry if TFQ contained less information than necessary; just trying to be concise _k
remeber I'm talking *medical grade* monitors...
this is exactly what I'm saying. Barco and Sony have already dropped their color CRT lines. Philips, and others have indicated the same.
