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.
