A very close friend of mine has suffered a stroke, and is having
trouble communicating.  She has lost a great deal of motor skill, but
has control of her eyes and left hand.  She is able to communicate
using an alphabet board, but she tires very quickly.  I'd like to
put together an electronic version of this, with a joy stick.  Does
anyone know of existing products that display an alphabet and allows
you to pick letters using a joy stick?  I'd like something that runs
on the PC.
