[Electronics-talk] setting radios

[Pamela Dominguez]

Whoever would have thought, way back when, that a radio would be something 
that we were saying was hard for a blind person to work?  Things have gotten 
ridiculous!  Pam.

Yeah, I kind of thought that's what she meant.
But I haven't exactly had the best luck with that either. I know it's 
ridiculous isn't it, the simplest thing like a radio.
I guess that's why just had to deal with the iPhone stuff. Because it's just 
simpler to deal with. And I know what I'm getting.
And unfortunately. I just we decided world works sometimes.

Z I know, it's not an excuse. It's just the way it is.
We have to try to fight somehow to make things more accessible. Even if it 
is something simple like a radio.
I certainly don't have 300 and some odd dollars to spend on a book sense. 
Unfortunately that's how much that kind of stuff costs.
