[Electronics-talk] Debit and Credit Cards

Tue Apr 21 21:50:11 UTC 2015

I would not have known about the possibility of having a braille credit
card if it were not for this thread. Sighted people would not have heard
about a lot of blindness related things.  When I was sighted, I did not
believe blind people could do anything. Of course, now I know blind people
can do anything, but I only found this out after I became blind.
