Hi Charles,
Interesting you brought the subject up of preference for braille over
electronic formats because it is one I think directly needs addressed.
Main reason I feel it needs to be addressed is we have something of a
generational gap here in this country and perhaps around the world.

That's why this pamphlet should be in braille. Other than you and your
fingers, no equipment necessary. Independent reading at your own pace.
Totally random access of information. The noise in the room doesn't
interfere, and any blind person who learned to read for themselves can
access it.
I wish there was a sort of crafting guide for this game, it would help.

This is indeed why I suggested producing a leaflet in braille in the first
place. I don't want to have the braille arguement again, but whichever way

Hi Charlse.
I disagree with you that anyone already with a computer and access to a
search engine would discover audio games, sinse many blind people are given
a computer and told this is for work and not much else.
Up until I saw the article I mentioned in the braile circular in 2003, the

would it hurt for someone to approach the orgs around convention time.
I know NFB state affiliates Braille their own stuff and Im sure ACB
does too. Maybe cost could be negotiated with them to do the

Just because you can, doesn't mean you do. I think we should also target the

else.

Hence the subject heading. I think you're right. While we shouldn't
limit such an attempt to just blindness awareness organizations, we
shouldn't limit the message to just braille either.
Eleanor, excellent. That's a good thing to have multiple checks and inputs.

Those who say that you cannot use the computer for other than work related
tasks should also be targets. They should also be asked if they use their

Hi Charles,
Okay, first thing. Just because screen magnification software exists
does not necessarily mean low vision users will be able to play
graphical games. Probably some, but the way screen magnification works
is not inherently useful in playing a lot of graphical games.
