 Last time I checked it was the other way around. I also know a guy who

 this kind of throttle for several momths and decided he was not happy
 with it. It could have been the one you mentioned with the tight

To  : ALL

     Austin, Texas, U S A - ADAPT protestors picketed the
Austin Hilton Hotel, 6000 Middle Fiskville Road, site of
the Austin local segments of the Jerry Lewis Muscular
Dystrophy Telethon, from about noon to 3 p m, this
American Labor Day, September 7, 1992.
     We did some chanting and we had some posters and
flyers.  "Jerry's Not Our Father - We're Not Kids!" was
one of the chants.  Reporters from two local television
stations and from the daily newspaper stopped by and
interviewed us.
    To my knowledge, protests of the Jerry Lewis Telethon
were scheduled for some 30 cities across America.
Austin's protest was a rather mild exercise of
Constitutional rights.  We await reports from other
cities.

I fixed that little midnight problem by borrowing a solution from one of
my parapalegic freinds.... I use a large cup like you get at 7 - 11's
and just dump it in the morning when I have my leg on.  I was blessed
with a disfunctional bladder and found it really "messy" to try and put
the leg on and am not awake enough to operate crutches in the middle of
the night and you only need to fill that bucket (leg) up once to realize
this is not good....giggle.  The human body sure knows how to humble

I am not sure that this is the right echo to post this, since there are
so many different meanings for the word "disabled".  Ah, what the hey,
here it is:

My name is Russell Goddard, Jr., and I am a 17-year-old hearing impaired
person.  More than 11 years ago I lost most of my hearing in my left ear
due to a severe ear infection.  11 months later I lost some more hearing
in my right ear.  I now wear two behind-the-ear hearing aids.  I am
profoundly deaf, with a 115 dB hearing loss in both ears.

I went from being in the bottom of my 1st grade class to special
education throughout the rest of my elementary school years, to being on
the honor roll in middle school and high school, to being the Senior
Class President.  All while being profoundly deaf, losing hearing every
year as I age.

I hope that there are somebody out here who happens to be like me.  If
not, then I hope that this post might whip up some hope and inspiration
that being profoundly deaf shouldn't stop you cold in your tracks.

I constantly step on people and try not to laugh when I realize the
funny faces they are making isn't because they are consumed with joy at
seeing me...the wennies are afraid to tell me I'm on thier foot...

I once had a boss chew me out and then yell because I didn't run off to
do her bidding.  I was in tears trying to tell her that if she got OFF
my foot I'd be happy to leave.  Then she apologizes and asks if I'm
ok????  It's rubber silly girl!

I was at a dinner party and was telling a really funny/embarassing story
about one of my girlfriends who was also at the table.  The look of
frustration on her face and pure gloating on mine while she tried to
kick me under the table was great.

Hi, Steve.

Yup, you're right there.  They were still fairly common when I
started at the Washington State School for the Blind (1955-56).
Remember, the Perkins had only been out since 1952.  I know a guy
who still has one (a Hall, I mean).

How's this for you?  Anyone remember a German Braillewriter

Some of you might be interested in knowing that I recently spent a
week at Camp Mark Seven, in upstate New York.  This is a camp run
for the deaf, originally just the Catholic deaf, but now expanded
to all the deaf.  This week was a special week to train
late-deafened adults in sign language.        I don't think I
learned that much sign language, but, as my teacher said, you
wouldn't expect to study French for a week, and become a fluent
French speaker.  The countryside was beautiful, the food delicious,
and the people friendly.  I would reccomend it to any late-deafened
adults on this echo who would like to go next year.  A couple of
you (I forget who) told me I would enjoy meeting Sister Maureen
Conway.  Unfortunately, Sister Maureen's mother was sick, so Sister
Maureen could not attend.

Greg,

I am assuming (always dangerous) that you don't use a mouse because
of a physical limitation.  I have adapted a Microspeed trackball
for a quadrilateral amputee which she operates with her chin.  It
has a center button which locks the cursor until the right button
is pressed to release it. This allows her to lock the cursor on,
move the cursor and then release it.

I'm putting some information in the mail in case this might be
useful to you.

I liked the inclusion of the ability to turn on or off attribute
detection in the review menu, but is there a chance you could make
this feature a toggle with a hot key.  It would be great, for
example to toggle on or off lightbar tracking with a hot key.

Just a suggestion of a feature I have used a lot in another speech
software that provides toggle on and of of light bar and attribute
detection with hot keys.

Hi Jeff,

I was party to an early demonstration in Philadelphia of one of the
early Synthavoice products. The product worked sort of with Word
Perfect 4.2 but locked up with other ascii type word processors
such as PC Write. The quality of the speech and pronunciation were
quite good but the screen review software was quite grabby where
the key board was concerned and the pc on which it was tried a
Compaq kept either locking up or crashing.

Also the people involved in the demonstration seemed to know more
about the Synthavoice product than the person who was representing
the company and doing the demo.

This has been my experience with this company.

     Hi Ron, thanks for the update on Dot's and Uniteds regulations. It is
important to have your own chair between stops and lay over if only to confirm
the fact that your chair has traveled with you. I was lucky enough to have
someone traviling with me twice when I had to change planes and they brought
one of their chairs to the off load area instead of mine. My companion went
down to the field and checked on my chair and once when we were about to take
off he spotted that they left my tricart on the field. The second time they
had never even taken it off the first plane.
   Worse was what happened to a friend of mine a C-5 quad. He boarded at
Cleveland Hopkins Airport for a trip to LA. He had a stop over for a couple of
hours in Denver and opted to stay on the plane. When they hit LAX they unloaded
everyone from the plane and then the pilot came back to talk to him. The pilot
informed him he had a slight problem. His wheelchair was left on the runway in
Cleveland and the plane on take-off ran it over. My friend informed the pilot
that he didn't have a problem the airline did and they had better do something
quick about getting him a chair. The idiots got a tri-cart for him ( probably
thinking they wear doing him a favor). Well as you can imagine a tricart was
really difficult for him to operate. He agreed to take it with the understanding
that another chair would be provided the next day. Well his troubles just would
not end.  He decided to be very brave and bold and give it a shot taking a
stroll down the street around his hotel. He got 6 blocks away and then the
batteries died on the tricart. It took him over an hour to get someone to push
him back to the hotel. Needless to say when he got back there the airline got
one nasty phone call.
   If he had had his chair in Denver he would have known a lot sooner about the
problem with his chair and could possibly made better arangements. Of course
if he had someone to go with him they could have made sure in the first place
that the chair had been loaded.

                                            Pandora
P.S. Now he has a really intresting metal sculpture for his house.

Here is a small (but significant) quote from Shari Messner:

SM> SF> The sponsors never expected any disABLED athletes and had not made
SM> SF> arrangements for special rooms, diets or athletic rules.
SM> SF> They have -now-!

SM> I love it.  Good for you.  Gosh, you are something else.  More power
SM> to you for being willing to compete in *normal* world.

SM> ... they need to *think* ahead and provide for *ALL*.
SM> ...By the way, what do you swim?

Not everyone can compete in a TAB world.  For the longest time I
just competed in disABLED competitions.  Since I have grey hair,
the disABLED athletes thought I could not swim.  The swim meets
became predictable.  Like I said:  TAB competitions are not for
everyone.  I guess I entered those TAB meets because I felt that I
could swim but I -might- be defeated....and to make that statement
(I think...nay, I KNOW the TAB athletic world should be aware of
the disABLED athlete...Profound!).

What do I swim?  Fifty meter Backstroke and fifty meter Freestyle.
I am a sprinter; anything faster and my lungs protest.  People have
asked why I don't do Butterfly or Breaststroke.  Co-ordination of
my hands and feet is the -biggest- prob....lung-power comes in a
close second.

There are disABLED -potential athletes in my State but they have
yet to appear.  Swimming isn't the only sport that a person with a
disABILITY can take part in.  There are many sports for the
disABLED -- almost every TAB sport has been adapted for the
disABLED -- from Archery to Sailing to Track and Field...the list
is almost endless.

BTW:  My State is not Texas.  My State is Nevada and I am calling Texas via
      PCPursuit.

Gonzo!

It all comes together.  That vcr is called the sharp optonica, and
they are not making them anymore, but IRTI still has a few of them
left.  Their 800 number is (800) 322-4784.
