My whole issue is that the original response was to the effect that the
person writing the message was saying "we don't want that" as though he were
speaking for APH and the whole group. To say that he disagrees is fine but
to imply that he and noone else wants the feature is not his place to say.

I truly understand that many cannot afford a PDA nor would some be able to learn to use one even if they could. What I believe is unfortunate is that if individuals bring an idea to this or any other mailing list that they feel it must be met with unbounded agreement or, those who do not agree are branded as elitists, technically gifted, or in the case of some Luddites. To disagree with a proposal is simply to express an opinion. And, if I choose to disagree with an idea, this doesn't mean I intend to attack or criticize the source of that idea. Every suggestion is valid, but if I choose to make a suggestion, I'm not going to flame those who do not believe that my idea is a good one.

Isn't it interesting how these discussions immediately degenerate from issues to personal attacks? And isn't it interesting which side is always doing the attacking?

I know, and I even see a lot of folks in the BEP program in a lot of states, including ours, that aren't getting rich at it, and are not tech savy. But I am sure they could get a lot of good out of a simple to use device. But I guess our friends would rather they continue to use a Perkins Braille Writer since they aren't technically gifted.
