[nabs-l] Am I the only one?

[Marsha Drenth]

Steve, 

Yes, I am aware that this is a possibility. But I guess its better than not
having them labeled at all. This also goes to say, that I would continue to
label the buttons even after highschool students would take the labels off.
Again, its better than nothing. 

Perhaps, because I am a non-traditional student, much older than most on
this list. If I see I want something done, then I do it. If I need a room
brailled, I do it. My point is that society, schools, universities,
employers are not always going to give us accessible materials, vending
machines, signs, or whatever. We as blind people have to find a way to make
it accessible on our own.

Also be aware of the fact that which buttons release which products can
change when the machine is 
refilled.

Best regards,
