Well, I looked at the contest and I think that if that is the only way those 
organizations can figure out to spend money when there are so many persons 
with disabilities with real needs, then I haven't got much to say for 'em. Why 
not start a good training program in computers? Why not start a rental agency 
for special equipment? Why not use the money to demonstrate specialized 
adaptations for the disabled to clubs who might be willing to sponsor 
somebody's equipment? Why not start a JOB AGENCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??? Why should 
you be the only beneficiary of $50,000.00. Sorry, James but this one really 
gets my goat.

See you on-line.

Ann P.
