[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Ross, what you reported in your message about your friend who has the Eureka
sounds like stuff that can happen in the U.S., also.

I think that the more blind people who discuss problems with companies--the
more results one will get.  and, if that company doesn't change, blind epople
shouldn't use them when upgrading or buying a new access system.

I think some of the companies here in the past--most not so much now--have sat
in a ivory tower and thought they knew what was best for the blind.  The state
agencies for the blind still think they know what's best for the blind, and so
it goes.  When we continue to assert ourselves and say, "Wait a minute--we
know what's best for us." . . .  Things are turning around and will continue
to do so.
