[access-uk] Re: Obsolete Accessibility

THANKSI don't know why it became obsolete accept I asked a teacher once and he 
said it was because the type was made of led.  My answer to that is they could 
have made the type of something else.

  Hello,
  Last night's In Touch has caused me to reflect on the Taylor frame and what 
makes an accessibility product obsolete. I remember the Taylor frame from 
schooldays and thinking about it, I cannot come up with a product which was 
better able to demonstrate the layout of an arithmetical problem. Many's the 
sum I've had to calculate using the frame. A calculator may get the answer 
right more often than me but it doesn't help in showing how the problem can be 
worked out. If we are really to achieve greater numeracy among the visually 
impaired, perhaps it's time the Taylor frame made a comeback.

  Iain.

    Subject: [access-uk] THANKS


    This cross posting is so that I can say thanks to people on both lists who 
either offered or provided the loan of Taylor frames.  All the interest was 
greatly appreciated and the frame was put to good use in last night's In Touch. 
 People might be interested to know that it really did seem to provide the 
means by which blind people could tackle Sudoku puzzles.  Sadly it is now 
obsolete.  I'll be returning the frames to those people who sent me them in the 
next day or so.  

    Thanks again. 

    Ian
