Recently a lady asked if there were any computer users who were deaf.
Of course there are!!!!  Many of us are (or have been) programmers
of the "old school" (I, too, remember when we wired boards, Jack!), and
some of us, such as myself, presently teach students at the university
level how to use computers.  Many of us cut our teeth on "real"
programming languages like FORTRAN and ASSEMBLERand todays icon based
GUI stuff (like WINDOWS) seems little more than a pleasant diversion.
Yup, there certainly are deaf computer users.  Enuf said for now; Jack,
Annie, Frank -- want to add to this???
