Hi there, I am totally dis-ABLED and live in an extended care
hospital and I operate a BBS and have perhaps the most
sophisticated computer system with adaptive devices in Canada.  I
use an infrared input device attached to my glasses which also
has a voice synthesizer.  I also have a special speakerphone I
can operate and call friends to talk using my synthesizer.  My
computer is an IBM 386/20MHZ with 4 mb RAM and a 85 mb hard
drive.  I spend up to 5 hours a day at my computer and am in no
way tied down to my disability.

        Ciao!
        Scott
