Have you been >back to Penang recently? Seems like one of your last messages was >that you anticipated going there. Yes.. I am glad the link is back. I did go back to Malaysia for a hoilday and spent sometime in the East coast. Good feeling and since it was Visit Malaysia Year things were different. Did not have much time to know about the disabled population in Malaysia. However it seems a new legislation was passed that buildings will be accessible from now on. As for spinal patients... they don't live long from what I gathered. Anyway I gald to hear from you again and I will get the disabled here to start writing again .... hopefully. Cheerio.....

Thanks... +Mark O+ on FAST EDDIES, Monroe, MI (Call >us anytime at 1-313-243-0944!) 1:120/175 Good to have your reply. We are really from the other side of the world. I am the Sysop of HcUG BBS and a therapist in a medical rehab centre. The problem facing disabled here is mainly accessibility and lack of educational opportunities. HcUG BBS was started to overcome accessibility problem and for remote link-up. Telecommunication has great potential in Rehab in view of the good facilites here in H.K. Also computers are cheap <clones..> Next year HK is hosting the International AbiOlympic and hence furthur improvement of services here is expected. Apart from that H.K. is always an exciting place to be... provided you are abled and rich. The good thing is that there is also something for the poor ie. if they work hard. I got a 2400MNP modem recently. Have yet to call the state. Let me know something about +Mark o+ on FAST EDDIES..... Regards: T.K.

TK> I will ask Paul to keep you informed of new development here.
TK> He is busy getting the Para &
TK> Quad group started here in H.K. So far so good.
He may want to contact the Spinal Cord Injury Association
here in the U.S.A. The address is 600 W. Cummings Park, Woburn,
MA, 01801. They can provide a great deal of information and some
good ideas on organization.
TK> How are you doing with your writing. You mentioned before
TK> you are writing some down to earth books for disabled?
The cookbook is done and waitingto find a publisher. A
magazine article comes out in January. Two other articles are in
the works and several are looking for publishers.
