-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yes, it may have been arm twisting that got speech into the LG phones. But the fact is that the speech output became a part of the phone. And the price didn't significantly rize just because of the speech output. I wasn't trying to say that arm twisting had nothing to do with the end result or that economics is the only reason why such advances have been made. On the contrary, I am saying that the arm twisting must continue, and on a much larger scale so that blind and visually impaired people have access to the same information and technology that sighted people have access to at the same prices that sighted people pay for that access. It is just wrong to make a particular group of people pay a price that is much higher than they can afford to pay just because they have a part of their bodies that doesn't work properly. That is called profiting at the expense of someone's disability, and that is not only wrong, but it is also downright selfish. Lorenzo Lorenzo - -- Keep American Idol great!
