Steve-
I use a power wheelchair and hoist on the back of my truck.  I'm 40, 
developed some serious neurological disfunction at 33.  
As an example, I've had problems with the hoist and have been frustrated 
by the hoist manufacturer's attitude.  I hold a BS in construction and am 
currently a master's candidate in industrial technology.  
 
I say this to support my position that I'm qualified to talk about 
technical problems and their solutions.  But they don't need to rely on 
these devices, so a failure doesn't pose the consequences for them that 
it does for me.
 
As a response to your request, I'll be happy to provide advice.  I am 
sysop on fidonet 114/19.
