Because we're way out in humor land: I think an afternoon's optimistic... to the point where if optimism were pennies, you'd be richer than Bill Gates. That of course presumes that you don't have six hands, three braillers and some super mutant ability that lets you type as fast as the mechanisms are physically capable of moving (its actually not that fast - its not easy, but you can actually get it to braille over existing stuff if you hit the keys quickly enough). I'm not quite sure what embosser you've got, but if I start using mine I'm going to move the computer for it into a nice basement room all by itself so I can actually have a chance of hearing anything else in the house. For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of listening to these things, they're loud enough to completely drown out conversations, unless you make an effort (we're not talking screaming here, but you're never getting away with normal volume). Finally, I'm not sure I'd be able to live with myself if I didn't throw a shout out to the stylus line! Nuff said - its two messages down if you missed it.
p.s: This is meant entirely as humor - no insult to anyone was intended. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Thomas Ward" [email protected] Sent: Friday, June 19, 2015 11:09 To: "Gamers Discussion list" [email protected] Subject: Re: [Audyssey] braille/large print/other media for audio games (was info games game engines) Hi Josh, No thank you. Brailing up hundreds of copies of a pamphlet on a Perkins Brailer is definitely not my idea of spending an after noon . Especially, not when you consider all a person has to do is type up the pamphlet once in Word or some other word processor, translate it to braille, and send it off to the embosser which will emboss as many copies of the pamphlet as needed while the person goes off and watches TV, plays a game, or whatever while the embossing is going on. Why in the world would anyone spend hours manually brailing up hundreds of pages when they could do it much easier using modern technology? Cheers!
