Cheree Heppe here: It's the reluctance, sometimes extreme reluctance, of blind consumers to stand up in a meaningful way for the products and services we require that has cost us our quality products and services. The market will rise or fall to the expectations of the consumer, ultimately.
However, Using vulgar language emphasizes the frustration and, as I tell my teenage daughter, tells people about one's lack of suitable vocabulary and is not a positive response because it doesn't get us what we want. I am very sorry about Humanware's stance toward its Braille using consumer base. It surprises me that the NFB, so often in the forefront of any public display where Braille literacy is held up as the gold standard for the blind, has not voiced a corporate concern about the lack of Braille support for Braille aware devices. Just the way the eaconomic and influence-bearing cookie crumbles, eh? Regards, Cheree Heppe ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
