[Blindtlk] caller ID

[David Evans]

Dear All,

A caller I.D. of this design and type is not practical and has serious 
drawbacks to what is out there.
As an engineer, it can be made, but it would be very expensive and the 
number of people it would appeal too would not make it practical to produce.
It would lose more money than it would or could make.  You could not sell 
enough of them to ever get the per unit cost down and you would never recoup 
the R and D cost.

Sorry to rain on your parade.
