[Blindtlk] One thing I'm tired of

[Ray Foret Jr]

ANd yet, they charge over $1000.00 and make it impossible for a finantially poor blind person to buy it?  Don't that make you wonder?  Oh yeah, and they sue everybody and their brother if anybody but them uses any name with the words freedom and scientific in it?  Hmm.  Seems to me it's time for a new business moddel.


Sincerely,
The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!
