(shuffle shuffle) I found it!  Go to your local library and look up the
August 1990 edition of Byte Magezine. In it they talk about adapting a compute
for the disabled and list the products they talk about on page 266.  The
piece itself starts on page 258 and is good reading. Maybe if we contributed
to articals like this we could raise the awarness of adaptive soft/hardware ou
there for the disabled. It's time we raised our voices above the polititions
who seem to take all the thunder (of course then they re-issue it with a
horrid odour to it. Heh heh).

TTFN!!
