Hi Todd, If you want PDI to change and have more senswitivity toward the deaf/blind, publicly bashing them on the list isn't going to get it done. Before you respond to my comments, think about this for a while.

What you said is correct, and that is absolutely NOTHING new about blind technology being inexcusably outrageous! Smile. But my pot is that, from what I perceive PDI, these staff are almost completely INSENSITIVE toward us deafblind, yes, so I stand by what I have told you. That does not change my mind! That does not mean I am against them, no, just that they show no sense at all! The good part is that the BN I have here does not belong to me, so, of course, I did not pay for this. You should be glad about it! Smile. That is all I could say at this time. Thank you.
