You are obviously capable >of sitting at a terminal and posting to usenet. Disabled -- I cannot talk or handwrite. I type fairly slowly using only one hand. I've tried to work in my previous job as a computer repair tech. But the talking required when training and in the workplace itself was something of which I was incapable. I thought I could get by by typing my questions, but for a variety of reasons, that was impossible too. I also cannot walk. I am 100% wheelchair bound. I use a motorised 'chair since it is impossible to manuver a manual chair with only one hand/arm. I am also 59 years old. I have the absolute minimum net connection (dial up, 56kbps) using a system that was given me by a friend. I'll admit the essential justice of your statement that I am living on (some of) your tax money. -- jimbo@sonic.net Eclectic Garbanzo BBS, (707) 539-1279 "My parents just came back from a planet where the dominant lifeform had no bilateral symmetry, and all I got was this stupid F-Shirt."
