OK, this is primarily for Gary, but here goes.
I was using the ATM machine in my building to get some money for lunch, and I suddenly noticed the buttons have Braille on them, in raised dots. Now, it's nice and dandy that they have the dots, but how would a blind person know what was showing on the screen? The machine doesn't voice the commands or anything, and I didn't see anything on the machine itself that would turn on a voice synthesiser. So are the Braille dots useless for blind people for all practical purposes?
Like I said, it's a nice try but they could have gone the whole way.
