: Of course sighted assistance is helpful, but I, and I suspect many others,
: just don't have it on a regular basis.  The sighted people I know don't 
come
:
: around every day, and, when they do, I don't want always to be pestering 
for
:
: help.  Further, most of them are not particularly computer-savvy, and
: getting across what I need them to do is not as easy as one might think it
: would be.
:
: I get awful tired of people assuming I always have a sighted person at my
: beck and call.  I don't.  Maybe that means there's something wrong with 
me,
: but I don't think so.
