I really don't understand why braille is so expensive. I'm not even talking about multiline refreshable braille displays or whatever the new tech craze is. I just mean printing braille on a surface. The thing that makes braille the most useful. The Perkins braille writer is $800--not the new one that's supposed to be modernized, the one I went to school with that's existed since the '50s. The new one is 2000 dollars! Or the LoganTech thing you can type on to make labels, that's $1100! Why?
