Hi John. I applaud your interest in a tactile display and i sure
don't wanna dampen your enthusiasm, but, are you sure that your
device is braille? Not all that is tactile is specifically
braille. Then too, there's nothing saying that a device which
simply makes the printed screen tactile is unuseful either.
Braille and embossed print are 2 different things: braille is a
code, based on combinations of 6 dots. The combinations often
bare no resemblance to their print counterparts. Thus, your
device would have some translating to do.

Please! By all means, do investigate further you may have a
great thing going.

Sounds to me like the family ran into a greddy law firm and got
conned into a frivolous malpractice litigation that will serve only
to enrich the attorneys involved.

Next time one must pay a medical bill, or has trouble getting
health insurance coverage, thanks are due these lawyers.

A couple of common-sense points need to be made here.

First, a person really *determined* to commit suicide cannot be
prevented unless they are involuntarily committed (that means a
court order is required) to psychiatric care.  In the above
example, obviously this was not done.  If the family was as
concerned as they now claim, why did they not seek such a
protective order? Then there is the question of what was *really*
causing the "depression"? If the patient was discharged in five
days, that might be about the time required to "dry out" from
alcohol and/or drug abuse and the suicidal mentation that sometimes
accompanies such behavior. Once released, is it conceivable that
the individual in question reverted to old habits and fell victim
to the hazards thereof?

Also, "depression" is a rather catch-all term that can refer to a
number of symptoms and conditions. Many of these can be "here
today, tomorrow".

Lastly, *any* hospital that accepts federal monies for a number of
purposes, including additions to the physical structure, is
required to accept and treat a specified number of "indigent"
patients per month, under the Hill-Burton(sp?) legislation. It is a
string attached to the federal funds and not subject to the
discretion of the hospital. Institutions that do *not* receive
federal funds are not necessarily *required* to treat *anyone* for
*free*.

Perhaps filing "patient dumping" charges is the latest Yuppie
"revenue enhancement" tactic among the litigous, eh?

Keeping a dog, guide dog or not, tied up all of the time is cruel!  Every
creature needs it's own space, it's own time to relax and run energy off.  I
have known at least one guide dog owner who kept his dog tied up all the

I would like to talk to anybody familiar with programming the
additional phonetic file to correct the Dec-talk pronunciation.

Although, I have faithfully followed the manual, I still can't
get the Dec-talk to accept words that contain capitals or
numerals.

Example:

1st for first, 2nd for second, etc.
1/2 for one half

Hints towards obtaining this goal will be gratefully received.  I
have tried talking to people at DEC, but gave up after several
shuntings to various departments with no apparent reward.  If
there is somebody at DEC I can speak to, I'll be happy to get
his/her name and take it from there.

No it's not "bullcaca"!!!!  The problem of addiction to narcotics
in people with chronic pain is very real.  The studies you are
referencing deal with ACUTE PAIN, not chronic pain; this is the
basis for Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA machines).  You are
correct that Methadone can be addicting.

Hello again, John. . .
   Yes, susceptability to eye strain is definately one of the side
effects SOME people taking Ditropan can experience.  I got some slight
mag. glasses and use them only when I have to stay at the 'puter to make
a deadline.  Well, I also use them whenever I have to have my picture
taken...they help hide the dark circles under my eyes! (We jokingly call
them my "Joe Writer" glasses!)
  You're right about my switching back and forth, though I only do it
three or four times a year (travel, duck hunting, wife having heavy week
in grad school at KU, etc.), and yes, the capacity of my bladder
sometimes changes slightly and the spasticity always increases, but
these changes are temporary.  Again, increasing the
Ditropan...occasionally up to three 5 mg. tabs. a day helps me.  Ask
your doctor....

God I'm prolific tonight.

   Why is it an insult? Are we thinking of two different things when
   we talk about "structure" of a language? Kimberly and Patrick have
   both jumped on me for this view, and now I have to deal with you...
   :)

We're of the Secret ASL Cabal. The attacks were preplanned and our
knives presharpened :O

   Ok, here's an example of what I mean by "unstructured".
   ...
   Descripition of a conversation in ASL about fat women in bikinis
   which included non-lexical elements.
   ....
   Are visual "pictures" no more a part of ASL than hand motions are
   to English, and the language is actually quite rigid
   ("structured"), or does ASL allow these deviations from its
   confines to make ideas easier to describe?

These two really aren't at odds with each other. I'm not really
teasing out of your description how much of the fat woman in a bikini
was classifiers and how much pantomime. There are definite cues to
indicate which mode one is in - pantomime doesn't follow the phonetic
and morphemic structures of ASL. My guess: In a spoken language you
can in parallel present both a verbal signal and a pantomime signal
which can't be done in a manual language. This would be like making
animal noises in a conversation. Moreover, I would guess that there is
a greater deal of visual annotations as compared to auditory ones
which one would wish to add to a conversation because of the extreme
role vision plays in the human cognitive processes, thus increasing
the ratio of interruptions in an ASL signal vis-a-vis an English one.

But I also think that it's quite likely that pantomime is sometimes
employed because it can give a concise representation of a stituation.
I know my English is punctuated by arm-waving, grunts, snorts and other
rude noises.

   See, I knew we had a
   definition problem here. Shall we call a truce?

And what are we to do with our honed knives? :)

a streetcorner controlled by a stoplight, and gave a forward command
then noticed the dog hesitating and wagging his tail, and heard another
guide dog command near him.  He said " I think we have another guide dog

discussion followed.  Both are now well acquainted.  Well now, any

Is there an alternative to the Toshiba laptop that has been
converted to work with the Accent or Artic synthesizers?  If
possible, I would like the option to select another laptop and
another synth and put them together myself, rather than having to
accept the overpriced Toshiba package.

When speaking to dealers who handle the Toshiba, more often than
not, we buyers are subjected a lot of mumbo jumbo/garbage about
why the Toshiba has to be specially configured which allegedly
justifies the high prices.

I would like to hear from anyone who has something different in
laptops and synths, and how to go about putting them together,
and what difficulties, if any, there are in doing this.

The way you're doing it is the generally accepted way, and it works

 AH> What is SCS, you ask?  Well, it's Sweaty Crotch Syndrome <tm>,

     I wash with lots of suds from Shield soap.  Dry completely.  Use a VERY VERY thin coating of corn starch.  I dip my hand into a ziplock bag of cornstarch, shake off any that clings to my hand, and then rub my crotch.  I do this each morning and each night until the redness disappears.
