[nfbwatlk] FW: ILRUSurvey: AssistiveTechnology forPeople With Disabilities

[Mike Freeman]

I'm getting sick and tired of the "evil corporation" whine! Things aren't
that simple. But most persons who are impecunious persist in thinking so in
that such thinking is easier to maintain than to accept that sometimes we
can't afford what we want.

Well, it's the Braille displays that are the most expensive 
parts.  I maintain if they can build those little Furby dolls 
that were basically toys and fairly inexpensive, they can add 
some computing power to notetakers.  This is my personal opinion 
but I think Humanware has gotten smug and lazy, as has Freedom 
Scientific.  They know that we have limited places to buy 
products from, and that if we want Braille displays we will 
settle for their products.  Nice to see some cheaper devices that 
have Braille but work with Iphones, etc.    Peace,    Debby
