Hi tom I agree with dark in that the cost of braille devices is still way beyond the average person's means. Basically braille is being killed by the price tag attached to it.
Take a brailler for example, they are about £400 or something like that anyway. they aren't portable, they're clunky, noisy and these days quite flimsy if what I'm told of the new moddles are true. You can't use them for anything other than writing, so basically you're paying all that money for a 6 pronged pen. As for braille displays, they are just as expensive. Using out of date technology with an absolute ridiculous price tag and as for maintenance costs? Is it any wonder braille is dying? --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
