Hi Mark,
Just came back from holidays ( beautiful hill station called munnar).
Its down south in a place called kerala(India). I was reading the morning
newspaper on sunday about tools for disabled called JAWS. Here in India
they are trying to popularize it for disabled. People who cant afford
it(cost
whopping $1000) they are giving a p4 system free. Another software
company is selling a palm computer with jaws for $2000 odd dollars.
Manufacturer are also planning to provide GSM facilities next month.
Unfortunately no body looked at linux :(.
But found good article on linux too. Like Sandbad movie had been
released and it was developed on 250 linux workstation. So was
kinda nice feeling.
