[Nfbc-info] partial accessability

[Nancy Lynn]

I went to the post office with a friend and saw a rather strange little device sitting on the counter. It was a little flat box with several strangely marked buttons on it, but no detectable number keypad. Along the bottom in clear grade 2 old braille were these words: customer display enter pin. However, of course, I still needed my friend to do the transaction since, as I said, there was no useable keypad. So, why did they bother writing on it in braille at all? Oh, and a funny little aside. As I said, this was in pre-UEB braille complete with the lower d for the dis sign. I thought later that it could have been read as 4play, as in customer 4play enter pin. Really? Right out there in front of God and everybody? LOL.
