You both are nice, well-meaning, compassionate people (no, no sarcasm from me). However, I respectfully submit that you miss the point.

What's next.......touch screens/Braille for the Internet? Think I'm being farfectched here? Merely look at the history of the anti-smoking movement over the last decade or so and tell me I'm being 'farfetched'.

This way lies madness.

There is a computer card for the blind that will allow them to use the Internet by voice commands. Cost a 1000.00 so we don't have one.

Hi R,

A juducial decision may not be the best way to put this change into practice but I stand by my post in all other respects.

I was born blind, almost had to go to a school for the blind, am still legally blind without glasses, and I cannot *see* one single reason that paper money should be off limits and unusable by blind people. If there were EVER an accommodation that could and should be made for a disability, this is it. Phasing it in is the only way that makes sense to me, but that's all right, just so long as it is done.
