Having the default mouse cursors be a one inch high mouse pointer 
that flashes bright neon colours should be the default then also, 
for elderly people who are hard of sight.  We should also set the 
default sound mixer levels to maximum, in order that auditorily 
challenged people can hear audio by default.  We should set the 
default font size of all applications to be 72 point size also, 
for accessibility.

The rest of the population can very easily change mouse cursors 
to the previously standard small cursor, and turn their audio 
levels down, and decrease their font size.

That makes the most sense to me anyway.
