Denise, that article was great! It made me feel better about myself. I also have a physical disability (Nager's syndrome), but not bad as Sarah Morris'. I have the same issues with speech impairment (can't talk clearly), having a hard time finding employment (especially with today's job economy), some mobility problems, etc. For me, I am glad that computers and Internet were created so I can do a lot more in socializing (a lot easier to communicate than talking) and gain more freedom that don't require a lot of physical movements. I have the love for computers, Internet, Web development/design, software quality assurance, and ants (note my personal Web site). I do my best to help others with disabilities to use resources online, which isn't easy. -- "News Headline: Ants Take A Long Time To Cook In Microwave" --unknown -- /\___/\ Phillip Pi (Ant) from apu.edu. / /\ /\ \ E-Mail: philpi@earthlink.net, philpi@apu.edu, | |. .| | or harvester_ant@hotmail.com \ _ / The Ant Farm: http://antfarm.home.dhs.org ( ) ICQ UIN: 2223658.
