        Thank you.  I have always thought that the O.T.
department has a great effect on what the newly disabled feel
free to undertake when they are released.  If a first contact
with computers can be established before discharge then it is
likely it will be pursued.

        I am interest in you ideas of the nursing homes.  The
elderly are a greatly neglected segment of the society.  Their
was a group in California and then Eldernet in Philadelphia.  I
don't think either got off the ground.
