This is the sort of thing that I mean. Point proven I'm afraid. From: Kim Lingo [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 10 February 2011 13:53 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: An AccessWorld Reader Shares his Discontent with the Reliability of Braille Notetakers - AccessWor ldR - February 2011 I haven't read that yet, but the first thing that comes to my mind is that there are a lot more sighted people to spread out the cost of R.&D, marketing, packaging (for CD's), and even things like payroll. Would I complain if the cost of adaptive products came down? Of course not. But there ae probably legitimate reasons why the cost needs to be so high. One solution would be for more people to go blind; but I doubt that's going to happen. Kim Lingo At 10:49 AM 2/10/2011, you wrote:
My apologies if this has already made the list, its an interesting read and its something that GW Micro, Freedom Science Fiction, Human Ware and other manufacturers of note taking devices for the blind should be pressured into taking seriously, that is the reliability and functionality of their expensive line of product compared to that which the sighted world seems to have access to at a far cheaper price, read at http://www.afb.org/afbpress/pub.asp?DocID=aw120205 If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
