jude dashiell staggered into view and mumbled: > I've been working for the last 14 years and these are still out of my > price range. The work involved software development too. The prices are way too high for anyone to actually afford to get one. I would never pay $4000 for something that can't even do everything my $80 laptop can do. Mine even talks to me. And thanks to Linux and open-source software, I didn't even have t o pay to get it to talk. I believe it is time for the price gouging to stop. People must stop taking advantage of people just because they are disabled and some government agencies will give the company the mony so a disabled person can get their products. I think we should write letters to our legislators telling them that enough is enough and that the prices for equipment and supplies for disabled people are currently discriminatory against disabled people. I do believe that such discriminatory pricing should be illegal under the ADA, as it ensures that most of the people who need special equipment or supples for accessibility are unable to get them.
