Hi tom.
if braille displays were cheaper I'd agree, but the money involved is just
too much for most private individuals to afford, which is why many blind
people don't have them sinse the only way your going to get that sort of
money is out of the state, and the state can vary on what they provide,
indeed in Britain your unlikely to get a braille display out of them unless
you really push while in full time education.
This is indeed why i don't have one myself, sinse I only used my student
support grant to pay for stuff I actually! needed, and there was no earthly
reason why I would need a braille display specifically at university, sinse
I wasn't studdying a science or mathematical subject that would provide
problems for a screen reader.
Where as with screen reader support there are free alternatives, or indeed
no! alternative via sapi, i'm less convinced about the braille display as a
gaming device, unless it was only an optional extra in a game, rather than a
completely necessary requirement.
As I said, I'm fairly convinced myself that unless the technology changes to
a full tactile display in the future, braille is unlikely to survive for
that much longer as a medium anyway.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
