I think it all boils down to the fact that many companies who make
equipment for the blind have a captive market.  They know this, so
why should they go out of there way to be helpful?  I'm not saying
it's the people being mean, it's probably more like the people
start with good intentions, the management becomes lax, and it goes
right on down the ladder.  It's a real problem with no easy
solution.

I haven't had to buy much equipment, but I can tell some stories
about stuff I have bought.  If ya wanta heare a good one, ask me
why I won't ever! buy another handi cassette.
 Later..  Chris

look out for that bad electric karma!
