Hello,

I halfway agree.  But, before we go off banishing those who are stubborn and 
resistant to change, let's remember that blindness is not the only disability 
in play hear.  I know a few who depend on peripheral keyboards because they 
have motor difficulties.  To those people, this is probably a bigger deal to 
them than someone who has no such physical limitations.

Just my 2 cents.
