Index Number: 13003 [Note from Bill Mcgarry: To all you Silent Talk folks -- please realize that on the Usenet side, the postings from Silent Talk, Blink Talk, Abled, Spinal Injury, etc, etc all go into one newsgroup.] As I read many of the posting in the newsgroup, I never see anything related to deafness? A friend once asked me if deaf people were really skilled using computers since it depends on visual alot? well...any takers out there? Is there anyone reading this now who is deaf? Curious Annie

Curious Annie There are some deaf members of this echo. Every six months or so the great "Convert a PC to TDD" question comes up. I really don't know why there are not as many deaf related postings as there are blind, chronic pain, back injury, MS, etc etc. Maybe deaf folks are the silent type :-) Rudy Vener AT&T BTL uucp: ...!att!mtqua!rudy

Curious Annie G'day Annie... I'm a Computer Information Systems major, and I'm also hearing impaired. I'd like to see more 'deafies' posting in this alt. handicap here. I'm sure there is several (or more than I expected) hearing impaired people (or students) have computer or programming skills on this USENET conference. How many hearing impaired are we having now ? Tally now !
