Like I said, If they rush it out right, they can rus all they want.  The
business stats show little profit.  Two sides of the same coin.  There are
more appropriate motivational factors such as law and need but these can be
difficult to work.

Many have found a profit motive in creating products that are both
accessible to the general market and useful!

People with disabilities must speak up and show what the profit potential is
so that it becomes a motive.

Have you ever heard of the concept of universal design?

Negative thinking gets us nowhere,
positive action gets things started!
