I dunno, well the original poster please stand up and explain? I'm interested in uses of computers to make life easier for handicapped people. Is anybody else out there interested in this? Have the particular human-machine interface problems of these people been discussed here before? (I only dip into comp.cog-eng occasionally, so maybe I missed it) (ON the other hand, maybe this is the wrong group for such a discussion) -- WARNING: Opinions in posting are farther away than they appear.
