okay that’s enough. here’s the actual answer:

People have told me I don’t know how good I have it.

That my complaints about Linux['s accessibility for the blind] are too much. That I’m spoiled. That back in the day, things were harder. That Windows XP was worse in every way. That modern systems are faster, more usable, more accessible — and I’m just being dramatic.

So I decided to call that bluff.

It’s about $100 dollars plus support e.g. for dust accumulation especially for the cheap devices.

Well unless your company’s entire profit structure is based on charging exorbitant amounts for minor upgrades and making the lowest cost option almost always have some sort of glaring deficiency to try to push users to pay hundreds more than they need to for the “optional” upgrades that should have just been included and cost pennies on the dollar for the company.

That sounds like all the more incentive to provide a touch screen. What’s your conspiracy theory for them not providing it, if not just that it sucks?

thank you
