Hi Walt:

Thanks. That is definitely a realistic view.

This same thing has come up on the PAC Mate list. Apparently, it's nothing
more than a matter of numbers--as Dave said, people with Ipods and cell
phones; or, for that matter, even boom boxes; tend to be ignored unless
they're actually bothering someone, but blind folks with technologies that
aren't immediately identifiable may get odd looks. I've just figured that as
a blind person, I'm being looked at most of the time, anyway, so I've never
let it bother me.

They probably get it in the form of stares and rude looks.

Indeed, carrying a book port around does have it's dangers. Some consider
it
to be rude and/or anti-social when I've done it. Curiously, sighted folks
adopt similar appearances using their Ipod, but never receive critical
comment.

Thank you, Dave, I knew I forgot one importannt setting. If I took my BP
to work and tested it, I'd probably be fired for reading on the job.
