Hi Jack,

What? Deaf people can drive cars, are you serious? Nah, get out of
here! (Smile)

I don't what it is Jack, that puts us in a frame of mind where one
day we can tolerate such silliness or insensitivity and the next we
cannot. Perahps we have daily limits?

What a silly thought, a blind person could not use an ATM and so
therefore, is likely to be using someones stolen card!!! Heheh!
What on earth would that poor soul think if she knew that I can
operate actual computers! Yikes!

Some of the ways I can use ATMs seem like they should be almost
obvious! The first and most obvious would be, "with assistance!"  A
lot of the functions (at my bank) I know by rote and can do step by
step without help at all. I "just might" not be totally blind and
can use hyperoptics and so much more.

But nooooooooooo, immediately "that teller" has to assume that I am
using a stolen card because "she thinks" my signature made before
her on a paper deposit slip is different than the signature made on
the back of a slippery plastic ATM card (by a blind person yet!
Heheh! Oh well.

And yeah, what about Brailling those machines!

I suppose I should be happy that the teller did'nt think my Telex
was a terrorist device and have security pull me to the floor and
yank out my hearing aids and take me to a vault for a body search!

Oh well, life is a bowl of cherries! Pits and all! heheh!

Keepin' the faith!
