Nobody has said that braille would be taken away. However, if braille is to
survive in any meaningful way, its production must move into the present
century. We now have access to much more information than ever before.
Refreshable braille needs to catch up and the price of Refreshable braille
needs to come down.

Not at all Clive, it's a very interesting discussion too.
Think Sean O'Connor summed it all up when he said about that if Braille was
taken away from us then there would be some legal issues to grapple with, to
paraphrase him.

Hi all,
Though it's possibly not off-topic, and so I feel guilty about prolonging
the thread much more, the more I read the more I feel we as blind people
should fight back.
