...of accuracy. Simply because I just plain forgot about what must be
thousands upon thousands of blind people in America who, either because of
financial constraints that would have applied in their families and
communities regardless of their blindness, and others nearly impoverished
for other reasons besides, not everybody out there who's fortunate enough to
have been hooked up with NLS talking books has a computer and spends their
days emailing and downloading and so forth. Of course cartridges that
resembled the familiar audiocassette would be the right thing, if for no
other reason. I got that syntax all backward, but I mean, even if it were
only for the sake of people without computers, that would be a good enough
reason for the cartridge idea. And of course there are people with
computers, sometimes reasonably well off, who simply don't want to do all
that downloading business. Yadda yadda. I just wasn't thinking. Hitting self
on head.
