this is what some companies call making their machines accessible though
isn't it. it's all well and good putting dots on the five, enter key etc,
but you still can't use the meat of the machine, as that's controled by
inaccessible buttons either side of the screen, or worse, by a touchscreen.
Hope to hear from you soon.

: hi, i came across an interesting one a couple of weeks ago. i used a cash
: machine, in warwick service station from memory. i discovered that the
: machine had braille on it. great i thought, until i realised the braille
: was on the slots for your card, your receipt and your money. these aren't
: much use unless you can use the machine itself! smile.
