[gui-talk] N.Y. Times Magazine article on the Braille issue

[Joel Deutsch]

Hi listers,

I'm aware that Braille literacy or lack of it can be a big and very fraught 
issue in the blind community. Personally, I may have some opinions about it 
but don't really have a dog in the fight, as Clinton might say, having been 
sighted until late middle age. I'm nothing if not literate. All I'd use 
Braille for, if I could even learn it (a month spent on a distance-learning 
course suggested that my pertinent intellectual capabilities are fine for 
this sort of thing, but my fingers just may not be sensitive enough) would 
be pressing the occasional elevator button or labeling my music CDs. but 
that's just me.
