Pam,, I think Petro was surprised that Braille was even an issue at all when using Replay AV. if he hasn't explained about the cost of Braille displays he will I am sure.

Gary, I did explain that to him. In his country they are provided by the government and cost or gainful employment are not factors. A different philosophy toward the needs of the disabled. He was totally unaware of our situation. I also told him that he should feel free to contact the developer and discuss his issues with them, as it is my belief that due to the cost here no one has really discussed the matter of Braille displays. I do wonder if he has seen the message from the person who says he is using one well. I don't recall who sent that message, but perhaps I should ask Petro to refresh my memory privately and with permission I can get those two in touch. Or didn't you already mention that, Petro? Probably getting close to bedtime. <smile> Pam----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary G Schindler" <garys5462@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <blindreplay@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 11:56 AM Subject: [blindreplay] Re: Your comments needed on Replay AV 8 you might explain to the guy that more people would use Braille displays if they did not cost roughly five thousand dollars too.----- Original Message ----- From: "Pam Drake" <pamdrake@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <blindreplay@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 2:44 PM Subject: [blindreplay] Re: Your comments needed on Replay AV 8To All Interested: I wrote a private message to the original poster on the other list explaining that Braille isn't as readily available here is it is in the Netherlands where, as in many European countries, those who prefer Braille access receive it, no questions asked. I told him that when I wrote my comments I never dreamed anyone would be using a Braille display. I felt that in view of that supposition my own comments were rather short-sighted. Obviously he made the assumption that at least some people would be using Braille, just as most of us made the assumption that he would be using speech. I hope this helps clarify the issue somewhat.
