And, on the subject of accessibility issues for which there is no
work-around, what abut the plethora of new house-hold appliances which have
read-outs and no  
Feasible work-around?
In the apartment where I used to live, there were washers and driers on the
first floor.
Totally flat buttons, and you were obliged to use a card to start the
machine. You could not tell when you were close to running out of money on
your card. To recharge the card, you needed to use a machine that was
totally inaccessible.
I'm sure everyone has come across similar appliances in the last few years.
Is there anyone working on ideas to handle this frustrating maddening
dilemma?
