[Diabetes-talk] Diabetes resolution

[Sandi Ryan]

Who said anything about forcing people to work with iPhone technology?  What 
I said was, Apple created a model for selling the technology that better 
spread the cost of accessibility across the whole population, rather than 
limiting it to a small, special population.  Perhaps we can help others make 
that model work, too.  I, for one, have not minded going to the store, 
buying the same thing everyone else buys, and having it automatically work 
for me, without having to spend an arm and a leg on speech for it, etc.

I am not promoting Apple's technology in any way!  Please read what's said 
very carefully.
