[Nfbmo] partial accessibility

[Gary Wunder]

I detest the inaccessibility, but I love your humor, Nancy. Of course,
sometimes we take it on the chin for braille when it is absolutely
appropriate. Remember all the questions about why we would want braille on a
drive-up ATM?

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.
