I still this this is very rude sending graphics and pictures with text that explains nothing to people whom they wish to sell a product to, people who have visual impairments. Very poor PR work in my humble opinion. It would have to simply and completely marvelous for me to buy it based on tactics shown by these messages and by the lack of shipping options HW offers.

Hi folks, For those who were wondering about the picture, here is the complete text (yes, I did receive the message in question myself): Image caption: image showing a thin device inserted into an envelope. Something great has just become smaller and better. This is a teaser message from HumanWare. HumanWare will soon launch a new exciting product. Is it a new DAISY player? A new Braille assistant? A new OCR device? The image reveals a few hints: We can see that a device is being inserted into an envelope. We can only see one side. There is nothing to indicate what type of device it is. We can only surmise that it is small and compact if it fits completely in a #1 size envelope. Be on the lookout for upcoming messages to learn more. My note: According to Google search, a #1 envolope can hold a catalog (or a heavy weight item), with the dimension being 6 inches (width) by 9 inches (length). Cheers, Joseph ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender. If your reply would be useful to the list, please send a copy to the list as well.
