Hi Tom:

I am mostly interested in brailling things people find difficult to
deal with in voice formats.  I hate reading source code with voice
only, even if thats the usual way I get it.  I like references in
braille, and technical materials especially.

I don't think you'd get me to braille out a book about health care
for the reading impaired for example--that can be utilized just as
well on tape--but I'd certainly braille the index, and references
from such a book.  In this way, prioritizing our braille wants and
needs we can get more of what we need, leaving room for more of
what we only "want,".
