Dear reader,
  
please be so kind and have a look at the questionnaire below. With this
questionnaire I would like to find out how the net is used by
handicapped people, what advantages and what kind of disadvantages
handicapped people see in using the internet and which improvements
could be made to make the internet easier and more effective to use for
them. The results will be presented at a meeting of the german societies
for handicapped students in Heidelberg/Germany in October.

Please send the completed questionnaire to me by private Email and
please, do NOT post it into the groups. 
  
Please excuse me for crossposting this in some non-english groups. The
reason that I do this is  that I want opinions from as many countries as
possible. 
Thanks in advance,
   
Alex
