JS> Bill, I believe Curtis's assumption might have been that most people, 
 
Jeff, 
 
    I think the key word here is assumption. You and Curtis assume most people 
can't, I assume they can. If someone lacks the knowledge or ability they know 
enough to seek help. I refuse to ASSUME what another person can or can't do, 
disabled or not.  To do so is to prejudge that person which, I believe is the 
basis of the word prejudice. 
 
   I know a young lady who took her washing machine apart, located the 
problem, went out and bought the offending part, installed it and reassembled 
the machine with her feet. 
 
All The Best, 
 
Bill Baughn
