Hello!  This is the first time I've posted to this newsgroup so please
excuse me if this is an inappropriate topic.

I finally pushed myself to start learning sign language and would like
to learn more about the Deaf community.  At first, I didn't have a
clue where to look.  It only dawned on me recently to check the same
place I look for just about anything else - USENET.

I'm interested in any books on Deaf Studies that anyone might
recommend.

Also, I'd like to know how big the Deaf community is in the field of
computers and if there is a newsgroup or mailing list dedicated to
those interested in this topic.

Thanks.

Dominick
