Well, I guess we should have never fought the Britt's in 1776 or 1812, 
Smile!  You make some good points here Harvey, and, us Yank's often seem to 
think that the good Ole US is Da Best at Everything.  Well, it is not.   Jim

Look at England where they have accessible cable boxes, accessible DVD
players, DVR recorders made by Panasonic.  So if Panasonic can make them for
England, why not for us?  There seems to be more sympathy for accessibility
over there than here.

Cobalt still makes the talking microwave oven that speaks everything, but no
longer for the United States, and I don't know if a converter would make it
work here.  But my point is that England seems to have far more
accessibility than we have.  Someone from England spoke at last year's ACB
convention on that very issue.
