[nfbcs] Blind folks and the IPhone

Sat Jul 17 14:20:36 UTC 2010

Mike where I live on Long Island, There is a high volume of blind people, 
including the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind, Inc. which is about less 
then 3 miles away from this apple store that I went to.

And one of the trainings we get to go to this mall and go shopping if we 
want.

so for there employees to not know how there products work is not excuse. It 
is an excuse for me to ask, since I didn't read the article about the NFB 
applauding Apple for there success with all there products.

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!
