The issue here, my friends is capitalism. If there were more people who required specialized products, they would be less expensive. Nobody can argue this point. And, as long as so much government funding is utilized in order to make these purchases, there is no great incentive to lower prices. And, having said that, the amount of money that is spent On blindness products when compared to other government expenditures will not have much of an impact on the deficit.

Big deal! How many of these cards are used for cameras? If you think this news makes us jump up and down, it doesn't! The next part of this gripe is this: Rhonda, what makes you think we want more blind people because we want lower prices? What does one have to do with the other? You must be one of those sighted teachers with no compassion, afraid that the blind disease will touch you. Either that, or the State buys any equipment you want. Which is it? Maybe you're one of these fortunate few the State will do anything for. Speaking of the State, is the reason for the high prices because State Agencies will put out the bucks? How about some honesty today. ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.pulsedata.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
