[Electronics-talk] On-Demand Cable Accessibility

[Matthew Chao]

Hi, Ray!  Figured as much, but had to ask.  There's so much we're 
missing on cable, even though I love the part I AM able to 
access.  I'ts kinda like older cellphones:  I could only use about 
10% of the phone; couldn't access contacts or anything else, but I 
needed the phone.  Oh well, that's life in the big city.  Maybe some 
day when people understand that blind folks watch TV, too.--Matt.
