[nfb-talk] Credit cards

[Mike Freeman]

Dar:

Although there's room for different opinions here, in general, we jump up
and down over stuff we can't do any other way for practical purposes.
Inaccessible bank web sites come to mind although even there, we can vote
with our feet.

WE generally don't demand stuff that can be gotten another way, as, for
example, using a reader to get credit card numbers once. So NFB
differentiates between "nice to have" items and "gotta have" items.

Mike

Interesting or is it called entertaining,
I guess for blindness issues it depends on what folks want.
If a company is going to Braille for me, I accept that.
Where if we can't do something on the computer we bust their heads to 
get it done.
I don't understand.
I like the convenious of it.
Who decides on what we jump up and down over.
I am asking a question fare here.
I will keep writing Doctor Maurer over this.
