Ship of Fools

Chips with everything:
Earlier in the thread there was discussion of someone with LD not being
expected to pilot a jumbo.
It happens that on friday, a group went with me to a bash given in the
'Launch Pad' section of our London's Science Museum.
Afterwards we visited the 'Flight Gallery', we all tried a 1991
simulator called R/C Aerochopper.

Naturally everyone including me crashed theirs within a matter of a few
seconds, however as you will by now have gathered One student, NOT a
computer games buff to my knowledge had a natural talent.
He could land it, turn it, and fly it to his and our satisfaction.
Of all the people I know, one pilot perhaps apart, I would trust my life
to him, if thrust in a helicopter at altitude with a person of choice.

He has been with me to quite a few computer trade shows and this was
never apparent until now.
This is an extreme and well trod (if true) tale.
It does I hope help explain the need to have a very open mind about
individual talents.

And the need to enable access for all.

Part of a leaflet is at www.peepo.com/your_righttocomplain.html
It is not an ideal, but part of a copyright document, published by my
employers, and reproduced here WITHOUT permission for academic

Due to the paucity of materials and the many requests I felt it might be
helpful, as a start. 

It did not require any special skills, just the
care to identify salient points and include them, whilst excluding a
lot. Others are very lengthy, though of a similiar nature.

I do not advocate this particular approach. 
However it does help identify how little can be helpful.
