I am looking for some software that will run on an Apple II that will aid someone that suffers from ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (sp?)) also known as Lou Gherigs disease. Specifically the person involved is slowly losing motor control, she long ago lost voice and is now losing the ability to write. Is there software that would allow someone to construct words or sentences using some simple input device that is capable of detecting only two states. I figure she has the ability to hit one of two buttons or to flop a joy stick right/left or to push a mouse around. Heavy interaction with a keyboard is not a viable alternative. Thanks in advance... seismo!tiberio Michael Anthony Tiberio Center for Seismic Studies 1300 N17th Street Suite 1450 Rosslyn, Va. 22209 (703) 276-7900 PS: I know things will get worse, any leads to systems that will work even when the only thing the person can move is their eyes would also be appreciated.
