It would have been both wiser and far more productive if people working on
the same project were to have joined their forces, resources, talents and
expertise to conquer the tactile optacon barrier which has beset a small
group of blind people for decades. I would have been happy to have done so.
If Reinoud is correct about the relatively small optacon market, and if he
believes that he is correct, then the issues cannot be profit-related
primarily, and there are far more fruitful projects if someone wants to make
a quick but hard-won million.

I'm a little bit sad today. I am sighted, have tried an Optacon on
only one occasion, and am not an engineer. To my mind, it looked like
there were great ideas being developed on both sides of the ocean. I
think everyone is in agreement that increased accessibility for all is
a good thing. There is not agreement on how to proceed with that. I
wish only the best for all the developers Richard, Charles, Dave, and
Reinoud. Cheers everyone, --MAO

Dear list members,to view the list archives, go to:
Let me get this straight. I developed a tactile display at my own
(significant) cost and offered it right away at nominal build cost
(i.e. at significant loss). I did this even though any market for
this kind of display is likely to be so small that development cost
will never be recovered in full. Then, I get called things like
"greedy and incompetent, corperate-minded second-best driven by
avorice (sic)", in public, and nobody in the community has even the
basic decency to step in here? Wow, just wow.
