Hi
I would hate to be in a world where all we could rely on was
computers and other similar technology, I like my pc's but
there's more to life than them and I think we should still
use the things we used to use such as braille, ok I don't
read it very well but I will never forget it. Why just focus
on things pc's can do for us, there are other things we can
use.
Regards
Adrien

Hi Jackie.
Thanks for your support. In many ways I'm glad I'm not a
braille user or have to rely on Braille precisely because of
the cost of it, but it is useful in situations like
labelling and obviously playing cards. Some smart ass
emailed me privately earlier to suggest that my friend and I
get online and play with one of the many casino style online
multiplayer accessible games out there, sort of symbolises
how blind people have come to rely on technology so much and
cant do anything without it. It's so so sad in many ways
but there you are.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Peter
Yes you could, quite easily, with a Perkins and some time.
But why should you when the RNIB sell them on their online
shop? I'm not having a pop, just agreeing with Ibrahim that
it's not fair.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

I have no idea what a pack of cards costs in an ordinary
shop, but my suggestion is just to buy one and obviously
with sighted assistance, Braille them.

Hi Everyone.
I know we?ve discussed games on here in the past, so I
thought I?d raise this issue as it raises my hackles
somewhat. I was on the RNIB online shop this morning
looking for brailed playing cards, and was shocked to
discover that these cards cost £7.26, while the standard
printed cards cost less than half this at £3.5. For an
organisation that claims to promote equal access, this is
hardly an encouragement to take up a new hobbies or interest
as it penalises those of us who must use braille. A couple
of sets of these cards would set me back a Wapping £14.5, an
outrageous amount of money considering that the work
required to adapt these cards IE putting a suit and numeric
denominator on each hardly merits such an inflated price.
Thoughts anyone?
All the best, Ibrahim.
