But you're well beyond rich as compared to 95% of the people on this list
and in the blindness community at large. $99 is pocket change to you, or
that's the impression you give anyway. For me, $99 means a few missed meals
and a couple short changed bills for a couple months. Of course that's why
I'll never own an IPhone in the first place, way overpriced and little if
anything it can do I can't with my android I'll be paying on for another
year at only a couple dollars a month added to my bill.
