Al,

     When I can read braille at 350 wpm, I'll be more interested.
 Further, when braille can be dropped into a normal mailbox and my mailman
doesn't have to go nuts carrying the stuff, I'll be even more interested.
I understand your point on literacy, though you really mean style, but I
can get that from synthesized ASCII files with spot checks for the passages
in which I'm interested.  Last, there's the increasing time delay factor.
By the time most books, tape or braille, get produced where the subject is
computers, they are hopelessly out of date.
