	Here is a good question for you all... Does a computerized 
ASL dictionary exist?  I have seen Sign Friends but I was not impressed
with its resolution or speed. 

	My idea is fairly simple.. I would like to see a videodisk (or
a set of disks) that would be controlled from say either a Mac or an Amiga
and would be able to cross reference related words, show different inflections
of signs, show regional differences, etc.  A truely complete, and difficult
project.  If anyone has done, started, or are interested in something like
this please send me e-mail, or post a followup.  If there is interest I will 
post a summary.
