Two things are very clear to me: 
The revolution in Access Technology that has occurred over the past twenty years still has a LONG way to go. 
Those people going on and on about the cost of Glidance ($1,049 + $20/month subscription) need to go online and have a look at what specialist assistive technology costs!
