Ah - not so!
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
We don't have accessible ATm nor public telephone boxes.
There is much less talking stuff in the public sector and also stuff in
Braille

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.
