        Would you please explain the function of the Headmaster

  Sorry for my delay in replying your previous message. As I stated earlier I  
managed to get a look at it being used on a MAC. The user need to wear a  
head-set with a suck and blow switch. Movement of the head will position a  
pointer just like the function of the mouse. Selection is made via the switch.
  As I haven't seen it being used on an IBM compatible I can't really comment  
on it. Nevertheless I am impressed that the mouse fuctions can be made  
available to users. With many of the desktop publishing programs needing mouse  
functions for operation this will be of great help. 
  I really enjoyed your list of "Bad Days"  Must make a Chinese  
translation of it!!
