it's not an issue but it is not just for the blind. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cara Quinn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2008 3:29 PM Subject: Re: Nano Band Wagon!
Uh, confused! <smile> when I went in, I simply bought one right off, after checking out the colors. I knew it would talk, so didn't need to hear it. I'm not sure I understand the issue if one already knows what the speech sounds like?… <smile> I already knew what to expect, so that was no prob. I can understand though, for someone wanting to look at it per se, but the odds of having one on display like that or having a salesperson there who would know about it are probably pretty slim in my opinion, and, frankly, I'm not sure why this surprises people as much as it seems to. <smile> I mean, I wouldn't really be thinking about blindness or 'blindness' products or adaptations if I weren't blind and didn't know anyone who was, or have some such connection in my life. Why should I, unless I needed to?… <smile> It wouldn't make me insensitive or closed-minded, but it certainly wouldn't be in the forefront of my thoughts, as I'm sure is the case with most of the salespeople most VI peeps come in contact with… If it's a sales policy for Apple, on the other hand, then that's a whole different story. when it's your job, then there ya go, however, I'm not aware of such a policy. Anyway, enough of my ramblings. Have an awesome day!… Smiles, Cara :) On Sep 21, 2008, at 12:10 PM, David Poehlman wrote: > Only one thing, if they don't have one set up for it, ou won't be > able to > hear it talk. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Cara Quinn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS > X by > theblind" <[email protected]> > Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2008 2:32 PM > Subject: Re: Nano Band Wagon! > > > ah, I actually have quite a bit larger of a collection than will > fit on my nano, but for my usual listening habits on the go, it's more > than enough.
