I also use braille, exclusively for labels.

Braille is not like flying a plane, where you have to study for a certain
ammount of time before you can leave the ground.

Study for one hour, and you can find the right button on the elevator.
Three hours and you'll be faster. Study for several hours and you will be
comfortable with labels for your computer disks and cds.

Nobody should refuse to learn braille because they think it is too
difficult or it will take to long. Not everybody who learns to swim wants
to go to the Olympics. But learning one stroke could save your life -- a
worthwhile investment.
