Why is it so unreleastic?  What makes the blind, as a class, different
from any other cross-section of society?  Not all of the bald are
physicists or EES, either.  They are not exempt.

IMHO the only reason the majority of the blind and the FCC agree that
there ought to be an exception to the rule made for the blind is that
they *expect* less of the blind; this is the same stereotype we've been
fighting for lo these many years -- that the blind can't cut it in
direct competition with the rest of the world.

It's time we banished such discounting to the junkheap of ideas with
other misguided concepts such as phrenology.

More importantly, what is the criteria for going from a one-part to
a two-part print-out of a magazine?  I've seen single parts of up
to 120 pages, why should these, totalling less than that, be forced
into two parts?  Then you get those extra blank sheets at the back
of the part that totally wig me out--that sheet coulda been
eliminated totally, and if you count that one sheet times ten
thousand a week or month, you're adding up to significant trees
here.

i have and was quite impressed with it.  the speech was very humacn
like.  in fact i was so impressed that whenever somebody gets around to
coming over my place that i am going to order the double talk
synthaciser.  my synphonics board i have now is very good speechwise but
there is no comparason to the double talk. the only way to describe
double talk is that when i heard it the talking computer on star trek is
how it sounded. if the local bus strike is over in time i would like to
hear it once more to make sure my ears were not lying to me.

Thanks for your excellent message, Hugues.  I certainly
agree with you about the grouping - and until others
realize that we need to join forces as a whole, we are
not going to be able to open the barriers.

I've never been a part of any group and I don't intend to

I have a question I would like to start a discussion on.  As some
of you know, I am a cochlear implant patient.  Lately they have
started to  implant young children.  It seems to do them a lot of
good, and stops their language skills from deteriorating.  However,
some members of the Deaf (by "Deaf", I mean culturally deaf)
community have bbbeen lobbying the government to make them outlaw
the cochlear implantation of children.  Their idea is that this
will destroy Deaf culture, that it is comparable to Nazi genocide
(with the Deaf in place of the Jews), and that it is child abuse
(depriving children of their "natural" Deaf culture).  At a
cochlear implant meeting, one man said that there is really no such
thing as "Deaf culture" -- There is just sign language -- and that
these people who object to the implanting offf children are not
really concerned about the children's choice off culture.  Their
real reason is that the only way they can communicate is in sign
language, and they are afraid they will become old and isolated,
and there will be no one to communicate with them unless there is a
constant stream of new, young sign language users.  What do you
think?

Hi, John.

It sounds from your description that since dots represent pixels, your
display would be essentially a raised-line drawing and text would be in
raised print rather than Braille.  If my assumption is correct, I wonder
how useful such a system would be for many blind readers.  To be sure,
some graphics -- especially simple bar graphs or two-dimensional
diagrams -- might make sense.  However, screens get so cluttered that I
wonder how well the information would be conveyed, especially when one
considers that many blind persons are not comfortable reading raised
print.

In addition, how would attributes such as boldface, inverse video and
color be conveyed to the user?  Also, what, roughly, do you project the
cost of such a display to be?

Thanks in advance.

I liked the way Artic 2.10 did it.  I never remember all the words
that were mispronounced after I get back to DOS.  I would like to
add dictionary entries on the fly.  I never used all the space that
was provided so multiple dictionaries would not be a priority.
Most of my entries were C language functions and variable names
such as sscanf strnicpy aptr iptr etc.  Maybe multiple dictionaries
would help those who perform different tasks.  I have heard Artic
say "f=e*g" as "f= for example" f=eg  and the Accent SA with IBM
screen reader say "ca=5" as "California = 5"

Autoloading, infinite size, and so forth would be nice, but being
able to redefine a word or character on the fly and save it for
later use is what I would be happy with.  Soft vert and Artic do
this pretty well.  I don't know about other programs.

I also want to let you know that changing - from dash to minus or
"silence" is also an important feature that is overlooked.  Vocal
Eyes does this, but it won't work with Artic 2.10.

                                Hope this helps,

I'd be interested in compiling a list of the ten most
informative, most wanted, most necessary, etc., etc., books or
magazines or articles or essays which deal with blindness.

If you had to pick ten books, or even just one book about or by
blindness or blind people, what would you suggest is a "must
read" for anyone interested in the subject? For instance, I
might choose Dialogue Magazine and a book called "The Making of
Blind Men"  (don't know the author, <blush>).

As to why I want this, I'm just relatively ignorant of the
subject as a formal subject, even though i've been blind all my
life.

Your thoughts appreciated.

John,
     Phantom pain is often a topic of discussion at the NTASG meetings.
We have one member who says he knows for sure what causes his pains. He
feels phantom pain is caused by changes in temperature and in barometric
pressure.  And the way he presents his claims is very believeable. He
believes amputees experience more occurances of Phantom pain in the fall of
the year. He says when the weather changes, when a cold front blows thru,
amputees experience more pain. I feel that is true to a certain degree.
Thanks for your reply.

Hi, Peter.

I'm a computer systems programmer for the Bonneville Power
Administration here in Vancouver, WA.  During the Carter administration,
there was a big push toward encouraging alternative energy sources and
BPA was no exception.  They went bonkers and bought several electric
cars.  From that experience, I must respectfully disagree with you.
They were *anything* *but* quiet.  One heard screaming transistorized
power supplies etc. as the driver stepped on the accelerator and one
heard beaucoup solenoids as one let off the "gas" and braked.
Light-rail cars are by far quieter than those electric cars were (they
weren't practical so with the coming of the Reagan administration they
were quietly dropped).  Light-rail cars aren't a problem; they announce
themselves and bong at every intersection.  Just my $0.02 worth.

BTW, those capacitive panels *sure* were a bloody nuisance, weren't
they?

There certainly needs to be a realistic option regarding
braille displays.For a desktop machine, a 40 character display
is the minimum requirement, and that costs about $7000.  While
an 80 character display is the ideal, as it would match the
normal display in length, who has in excess of $14000 to
spend?  A couple of years ago, I purchased a scanning system,
and I figure that that was my major purchase for quite a
while.  I think you will find considerable support for
alternatives for braille reading of a computer screen.

[This is from the Rare Disorders Conference]

Just today in the mail, I received information on the Fibromyalgia
Network, a patient-run national resource center that provides
information on FM Syndrome, physician referrals, and local
self-help groups across the country. While the Network evolved from
the work of several FMS self-help groups in the Los Angeles area,
the 40 plus groups to which they currently refer are independent of
the Network, i.e., the Network is not a national association of
these groups.

The Network publishes a quarterly newsletter, available for a
$15.00 subscription. They indicate they strive to provide
information on research, new medications used for treatment, and
suggestions on how to cope with the symptoms of this "chronic,
painful and energy zapping condition." They are also looking into
research that might indicate any possible connection between FMS
and CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).

For a free "FMS Patient's Guide" brochure, and other information on
the Network, send a stamped self-addressed envelope to:

Fibromyalgia Network
5700 Stockdale Hwy., Suite 100
Bakersfield, CA  93309
or phone (805)631-1950 (9AM to 12 noon, Pacific time).

Hope this is helpful.   - Ed at the Self-Help Clearinghouse
