Cara, you didn't offend me for the record. We're ok, honestly, it's
all good.

Scott, you're right, and my apologies! I saw this note way too
late! <smile> -I was on the road (just got home last evening) and
glossed over some email on my phone, on the way. Oops!…
I also think by your tone that you may have misunderstood me, but
no biggie! <smile>
Feel free to write me off list if you like, K? I love discussing
this sort of thing.
Have a terrific evening, and I apologize if I offended!
Smiles,
Cara :)

Cara, it seems this thread really isn't going anywhere. I'll agree
that some are complacent, but those are the same folks who are
complacent regardless of the issue and actually I take some
exception to the statement, because the fact of the matter is,
there are those in the "sighted" community who are equally
complacent.
I think I've said enough on this topic and I can agree to disagree
and move on. Let the facts stand on their own merit and show where
Apple was and where they are today. I think based on that, you will
find that they are committed even if at a much slower pace than any
of us would like.

I think Tim has a point here, in that this community is so used to
dealing, getting by, and waiting for things that there is a level
of complacency that there isn't, in the sighted community.
Add to this the facts that the market for usable products is
smaller, and the income levels are generally lower, and you have a
recipe for a community which may be voracious on one hand, and
complacent on the other.
Now, this also can lead to feeling that potential benefactors
aren't to be trusted, as well. the blind are a stressed
community, so it's understandable to a degree.
This is why I think it's so important to help people or companies
out, whom are trying to raise the status quo.
Smiles,
Cara :)
