The sticker was already in the Ziploc bag with the compact flash card;
I'm sure they did that so the little devil wouldn't get lost and tossed
with the packaging. A distinct possibility for blind or sighted. If we
go asking Mr. Gates to please  make it bigger so we don't lose them,
some blind people will jump up and down and claim they are being
patronized. let's not go down that road, shall we? The little license
sticker is what it is; it's the same for everybody, so welcome to the
wonderful world of Microsoft.

Like I said, blame Bill Gates.

Hi all,

Stanley, I think you're probably right about this, and therefore, in
order to protect its customers, Humanware should, in future, place these
tiny labels into something larger so that they can be correctly
identified and more easily stored and the license sticker can be
properly affixed to the machines.  Perhaps Microsoft might be willing to
absorb some of the cost of packaging for this all-important license
sticker???  After all, it's they who have started the chain of events
which culminated in Theresa's problems this morning.    Again, it is
important to remember who your market is and the limitations which are
faced by us.  If a sighted person was dealing with this same issue, he
or she might drop the sticker on the floor, but would be able to
retrieve it.  He or she might be able see the sticker in the plastic bag
and not throw out the bag until it was examined thoroughly.  He or she
might lose the sticker, but to ask a person who is blind to pay an
additional licensing fee, in effect to pay for his/her disability, is
unfair, I think.  It is particularly unfair when a paper trail exists to
prove that payment and shipping of an upgrade has occurred.  

Ann P.
