My wife is legally blind and had been her whole life. She’s had to work that much harder at school and at work and at home. We bought her an ipad last summer and it has greatly improved the quality of her life. The cost was comparable to other vison aids for reading and internet viewing, but the funtionality is amazaing. She can read for the first time in her life without getting a head ache. She no longer had to haul around huge large type books that still were hard to read depending upon the lighting and how far into the spine the text would go. She can also make all text white on a black background. I’ve kinda been whatever about the hype around apple. the touch was neat and i still use my touch a lot, but the freekin’ ipad was a game changer for my home. I’m thinking of getting one for me too now so i can free up some room on my book shelf. 13 hardcover WoT books take up a lot of space.

but yeah Dance of joy and iPad all are FTW
