When I went to the Visually Handicapped Programmer Training Course back in 1974 I made a great personal discovery. I used to think I had a character defect because I was always loosing things. When I got to the training, I found that at any time on any given day, somebody was looking something they misplaced. Having difficulty finding stuff is a natural artifact of not seeing well. This group also helped me feel a lot less isolated. It helped my understand a lot of my own frustration. Lines that run off pages are not support for reading, they are a barrier. All our lives we have been given a barrier to reading, and we are told it is support. That is the kind of double think that makes people crazy.
