These two statements are contradictory.  ATM's can be used independently by
the blind if a speech card is dropped into the machine so that blind
persons can have the display monitor read to them.  Also, the blind
persons in California were advocating for talking atm's.  they were doing
it through attorneys who were ready to go to federal court if necessary
where the issue would be advocated in a formal context.  They weren't
whining, they were taking action.
