THis seems ludicrous to me as well.  First it's amperage that will be
the killer.

I hope folks in the NFB who are technically savvy get involed with
this but I have my doubts on any organization supposed of and for the
blind getting involved.  THey're too interested in federal rehab
ocntracts to relaly get involed in advocacy these days.

SHould I find the money for one of these meters I"ll never tell them
I'm blind, sad as it may be.  I'll order it in my xyl's name.  THought
I'd nevr play this game but I can't depend on the so-called advocacy
organizations, this includes both ACB and NFB to actually advocate for
lbind people.  THey're too busy chasing federal dollars in rehab
contract et cetera.
