Hi Carol, I work in the hi tech team of the RNIB and we are not far of the judd street resourse centre. I write to you off list about this. Best wishes, madleen -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Carol Pearson Sent: 24 June 2009 10:11 To: Access UK Mailing List Subject: [access-uk] TIME FOR A RANT ... Hi all, I don't exactly apologise for this post and I'll try to keep it brief! I've just written about my recent experience when visiting the RNIB shop at Judd Street for the first time a few weeks back ... (I won't repeat here what I wrote there ...) My quest to get a proper indepth demonstration of the Plextalk Pocket has been exceedingly difficult ... and I've now decided to give it up. Not only was I unable to get anything like a demonstration at the RNIB, but I have declined to purchase the "Infotech" article. This was the last nail in the coffin for me! I was told this would cost me £10 as I'm not a regular subscriber to "Infotech" and you can no longer purchase individual articles at a reasonable rate. I think £10 is too steep and, despite my writing both Brian and Terry at T&T, I heard nothing from them. Well, that's just too bad! It seems my quest for a recorder I'll really like and get on with is just not to be! Surely, it ought to be easier than this to get proper demonstrations and a working knowledge of this high tech stuff for which we have to pay fairly high prices anyway ...
