This story sort of bugs me...Target does a lot of nice things...did we mention the program for the $4.00 prescriptions here? There are also hardware solutions available and in the works for blind individuals...and tablet PCs are a huge asset for those who are blind and/or deaf...there are printers and pocket pc solutions in this area as well...and has anyone turned on the Microsoft "Ease of Use" features included in Vista? The Narrator is a huge help...but even fewer decide to try the features and see what it can do. We have covered stories on how tablet PCs can help the paraplegic with no use of their hands...they use a pencil or something they can manipulate with their mouth to navigate...in short, I just don't think this one should fly as hardware solutions carry the real key to accessibility and there's a lot more to come in this area...BD
