Hi Tom, why not get a guide dog, then you don't have to whip out your cane and you'll fit right in with nobody noticing you're blind *smile*

Hi, Don't get me wrong here: this isn't a flame, and it's not directed toward anyone in particular; I'm just making a comment. What SS Eric says below strikes me as absurd. The second I whip out my cane the idea of any attempt to hide my blindness would go right out the window, and I'm definitely not ashamed to walk around with a cane. Walking around in public without my cane is unsafe, impractical and just plain foolish. I'm secure enough in my blindness that I really don't give a rip if anybody notices or has a negative opinion about my condition and I sure don't have to carry one I-device versus the other to try to hide my blindness and fit in with the sighted world. That's just silly nonsense. Tom ----- Original Message ----- From: "SSEric" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 03, 2014 2:56 PM Subject: Re: why an ipad mini? This is not aimed at any one in particular, but applies to Farmor then we might like. A lot of people will carry an iPad or Mini because they want to appear cited. At least, they don't want to appear blind. On Jan 3, 2014, at 2:29 PM, Chris H <[email protected]> wrote: Hi is it true MBraille works like a Perkins or other Brailler on the iPad?
