As the Chairman/CEO of a company that develops products for the disABLED 
community, I take a little issue as well to not "advertising" on these 
conferences.  Unlike the "commercial" arena, the H/C adaptive access and 
augmentative communications area is not a money maker (we lost .5 Mil last 
year but managed to help a lot of people "mainstream" and communicate, and 
that feels "good".  It is tough to get the product word out to the people who 
can really benefit from these developments.  I would like to see the ban on 
advertising lifted for this conference.  Respectfully, Dick Gorgens
Chairman/CEO of Microsystems Software, Inc.
