So, how would grade two braille muck up the screen format. furthermore, if one is looking at braille you only see 40 or 80 characters at a time anyway, which is hardly a screen format. blind people don't care about format unless they are programmers, and, if they are programmers, format, like sighted people understand it, is the most difficult concept for a blind person to conceptualize, in my opinion. the purpose of a good screen reader or braille reader is to give the correct, or as correct as possible, information that we need. let sighted people worry about bells and whistles. just my opinion, of course. I am always glad that everyone else has their own opinions, too. that is what makes list messaging so much fun. right? -- Bill Gaughan wgaughan@snet.net
