I'm posting this to let you know that I have an 8 year old daughter named Chameray,
that would love to write to you all, but our computer at home isn't on the net.  
What I would like to do is print out your mailings and take them home to her; She can  write her replies, and I can bring them to work and post them for her.

Is that ok with you?

I've got about six accounts through my job as a computer consultant.  I am 
currently working on a long-term contract at a hospital on two medical 
research studies.  As a result, I have found myself with piles of access!

Actually, there are a few advantages to other sources. For example,
I have two "real" accounts, and I also have an account at nyx.cs.du.edu
The system there has menus and is almost graphically oriented. It's 
slower, yes, but has its advantages.

Meg - During the school year there will be more "real" kids on this
group.  Traffic was low this summer and several adults wanted to act
like kids.  I think it's funny, o.k., but it's so obvious because
the "real" kids spell much better than the adults acting like kids.
At any rate, I'm 29 and nobody objected to my occasional posting.
Most posters are from 10-21 in the group, so you should fit right in.

Well, I'm 18 and I've had Usenet access since I was 15.  You ask how "kids" get
access -- very simply, actually.  Some have parents, older siblings, relatives,
friends etc who have a mainframe account, and the person they know lets them
use it -- that's how some of the grade-school kids here on this newsgroup get
to post.  Others, like myself, simply call BBSes that have Usenet access... 
If you want to have your own account, look around for a BBS that offers netnews
...seeing that you're in Cleveland, luckily you can call FreeNet (for a fee,
I assume)... but I'm ssure there are some free and optional-pay systems around
that you call (much like this one here)...
Hope I was of help...                   -Tex

All right, that's it! I've kept quiet for long enough. I'm a _real_
kid and I subscribe to this group. I'm 15, and have complete access
to the internet. Actually, I have two accounts. Alt.kids-talk was
the only way that I could ever find other kids on the net. Now the
wannabe kids have taken it over and made it into a joke. In the 
future, more "real" kids - young teens mostly - will have internet
access through their schools. There should be a group _for_ kids.

I think it's great that some of us talk to kids.  I'm 19, and recently started to email pen-pal, i guess you call it.  It's great hearing from kids and what they do.  It gives me a smile when they talk about stuff that I used to do, and stuff that I didn't get to do as a kid.  They also listen to my opinions, which adults don't often do, and ask me advice sometimes, which I can give them.  I don't think there is anything wrong with having an e-mail or newsgroup relationship with a kid, as long as you don't

 misuse the fact that they are kids.  So to all you older "kids" out there, have fun, and be responsible!!!

I've talked to you guys before, so I guess I should tell a little about myself, since I didn't have much time before.

My name is Chris.  I just graduated from high school in Baltimore, MD where I live.  My interests include:
Swimming, snowskiing, playing piano, skydiving, following baseball, football, hockey, listening to music, teaching piano, and lots more.

I am blind, and I use a speech synthesizer with my computer to communicate.  I have an IBM, which lets me read the screen with a screen reader  The synthesizer speaks everything that would normally appear on the screen.

I have been very successful with piano.  I have played concerts all over MD, one at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, one in NJ at Newark International Airport's hotel, and a couple in VA.

Two years ago, I placed 9th in the country in an international piano competition.  Over 50 states and 30 countries participated in this event, totaling over 2,000 people.

Any more questions?  I don't care what you ask.  Don't be afraid to ask me about anything relating to my blindness.  I never let it get me down.  I do anything you can do, except drive a car.  I could drive one, but it's not legal.  <laughing>

Chris

PS:  I'll try to catch you guys in IRC sometime soon.  It's very hard to get a connection.

PPS:  I will be attending the Peabody Schinol of Music here in MD, with the hopes of becoming a music educator.

Hi Chris..

I had a friend who was blind from age eight.  He Downhill Skied, played darts,
bowled and even drove Snowmobile.  He used to snowmobile on this large lake,
wearing a two way radio.  He went wherever he wanted.. and only when he was in
danger was the radio used to communicate information to him about what was
happening.. other times, it was just to add to the fun.  He has even driven a
car.. but that was when he was 12, and he got in alot of trouble. 

Thanks to him, I learned that a handicap exists partly in the physical, and
partly in the mind.  He seems to have eliminated the mind part.

Gabe, my system is a private system here at home.  It's nothing more than
a PC running Coherent (Coherent is a Unix-like operating system that is
sold for $100.00).

If you've got the PC, and can afford the Coherent software, you'll still
need a feed site.  You might be lucky and have one close at hand for free,
or you may have to pay for one.

	I'd also like to know how either the "defendants" or the
