Very true Dark. For something like a single game, I wouldn't expect anyone to
go out and buy a web cam, although someone might have that desire. I have
pretty much assumed this head band idea would only be considered by those who
already owned a web cam, or had one built right in to their
As I said, I don't mind paying so long as the price is reasonably low,
however I wouldn't want a situation where people in the us had something for
free while everyone else had to pay a huge great postage charge.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Hmmm we are getting nifty.
That sounds like borg equipment to me.
On that note, if the borg had issues isimilating because component
delivery was held up somewhere would really be a bit of a problem.

Hi Jeremy,
No, your information/understanding is incorrect. While a blind person
can use free matter for the blind on some mail its only for specific
cases.
For instance, if the Library of Congress sends me a book in braille or
a book on audio tape I have the right, as a blind individual, to
Hi Dark,
Don't worry about that. As I just got done explaining in my prior
post the free matter for the blind service doesn't work the way he
thinks it does. The free matter service is specifically for non-profit
use between an organization or agency and a blind individual. It
doesn't give a

Well, that is definitely stretching it as far as I am concerned.
Yes, braille materials usually qualify for free matter shipping, but
that generally applies to well known organizations like American
Printing House for the Blind, the Learning Alley, the Lutheran Braille
Workers,
Hi Dark,
Yes, that's my understanding of the U.S. free matter for the blind
service as well. It only applies to braille books, braille news
letters, audio tapes, and sometimes to something like a talking book
player or similar specialized device. I'm not at all sure what Jeremy
wants to send via

You do not have to be registered to use free matter for the blind.
Even those orgs have to pay for all those cd's they send out. The
other email tells it all.

Hi Trouble,
thanks for posting the article. I know the rules were strict, but
wow! That's pretty conclusive. Jeremy definitely can't send his
material via free matter as it doesn't meet most of the rules.

Actually it's the seal of the package that gets me. Like it stated
one post master may say seal it and another may reject it for being sealed.

Hi Trouble,
Yeah, I noticed that as well. There doesn't seem to be any official
ruling on weather a package is to be sealed or not sealed. I guess
that is why most of the stuff I get free matter is usually in some
sort of special container that can be easily opened and closed. Tapes
come in those
I've used it a fair bit sending stuff to other blind folks like cd's and
such without any troubles.

Thanks for the info Trouble, I think that pretty much closes the door on the
free shipping option. I'll admit, I'm disappointed, but honestly when I
started the idea of sending out physical items I fully expected to pay for
shipping. To get an idea, I put the package specs in to a shipping
Hi Aprone.
personally, dollar 11 is okay for me, sinse that works out at around 6
pounds. yes, me paying more because I happen not to live in the us is
irritating, but so long as it isn't too much it doesn't strike me as a
problem, eg, free in the us but 7 dollars for postage elsewhere,
A flat rate is a pretty good idea, and it does help things seem more fair to
everyone. I'll have a better idea of a final price once I settle on a final
design for the map and head band.
As far as the game goes, I wanted to mention that it will be free. Time and
time again I have struggled
Hi ron,
Ok? I think a lot of this is up to the Post Master. According to the
NFB article Trouble linked to earlier cds are not on the official
approved list of items that can be sent via the U.S. Postal Service
free matter. That said, the article is rather old so it could be out

Hi Jeremy,
The price range sounds reasonable to me. Especially, if future games

upfront cost/investment.

Hi jeremy.
I'm not sure how it is in the us, but in the uk the rnib provides free
postage articals for the blind lables to post to and from visually impared
people.
however, the materials they can be used on can only be braille, audio tape
or the like, and cannot be used on other things,
Since braille is one of the items that can be shipped, I wonder if these items
would be allowed since the map contains some braille. Lol, it would certainly
be a stretch, but I'm hoping this works out. I completely agree that the price
needs to be as low as possible, so if there is a way to
