Hi, Carlene. You are a perfect example of my point. Generally put, they did not teach you to fish, they gave you some fish. Hell, I'm writing this on the Macbook DOR of California bought me; listening with the hearing aids they bought me... Maybe I'm a hypocrite, but I'm forced to use the funding options available to me because that's how the world works; I get that. It's not a solution to the problem, though, it's just putting off the problem and burying the head in the sand, or whatever I mean.... :) I suck at idioms.
Let's suppose that the recession comes back in force. Banks fail, no one's got money, inflation hits the roof. The first thing on the chopping block will be that agency in Oregon, or CA, where we got our equipment. Now, the equipment's broken, or obsolete, or we need something new. What do we do? We still can't afford it, now there's no umbrella to hide under, survival is getting grim; who's going to baby-sit the blind when everyone's just trying to get by? The agencies are not at all the best solution, and may in the long run do more harm than good. That's all I meant; I meant no judgment of those who use the systems to get what they need--I'm one of them. I just don't feel very good about it at the end of the day...h Mark BurningHawk Baxter Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com My home page: http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
