Re: GUI necessary?

["Jeff Carey" <jcarey@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've often wondered about that - think abouit it, even if you knew what
those keys said, could you operate an ATM without your vision?  Expecially
since they ar not all uniform.

:::I asked a blind programmer (Yes totally blind) friend of mine if Braile
:::buttons on ATMs were helpful.  He said that without a Braile CRT to go
with
:::them they are as useless as braile labels for
:::the controls in his car. Drive-through or not, he does not use them.



Interesting. I wouldn't base my design decision for an ATM based on one
piece
of anecdotal evidence, but still interesting.





:::But don't start me on the ADA!!!


I'm very thankful for the ADA.  Removing barriers for disabled people is a
good
idea, don't you agree?


Peace,
