Could you explain, to the nearly non Braillist that I am, what the
benefits of Braille are?
I'm genuinely curious, as from my perspective there seems to be
little to commend it to me.
Before I start an almightly flame war, I'll stress that I'm talking
only from my own perspective, not generally across the board. But I am
curious all the same. *Smile.

But it would be a good thing if more people were given the chance to prefer
Braille.
