The blind who can see !

 Response from Ron Marshall:

 Hi Ron--I was moved by your advocacy for the blind. I worked once with a
    blind lady, Phyllis, who was a delight to both work and be with. She
    enjoyed listening to music and would smile and sing along with a tune
    she especially liked. She also enjoyed listening to talking books. I was
    amazed by the wide variety of authors and subjects available on audio
    tape, and all for free! The Association For The Blind has a lending
    library programme.

    As for technology hindering literacy for the blind, nonsense! Go into
    any bank or look at any ATM machine and you'll find Braille on the keys.
    Computer keyboards with Braille keys are also available. There tends to
    be techno-phobia among the older members of our society which is
    non-existent in the very young. "If God wanted Man to fly he would have
    given him wings," was the prosaic reaction of many to the invention of
    the aeroplane. I suppose it's only natural for us to be somewhat phobic
    towards radical changes in our world. Carried to an extreme, it
    constitutes cultural neurosis, or produces a mad bomber! The current
    Chicken Little syndrome is now evinced by the current "Y2K" hysteria. It
    will pass, of course. And how many people are willing to admit today
    they ever liked the song Achey Breaky Heart?

    take care buddy.
