At the Australian Quadriplegic Association, they've bought so
many MACs.
I set up a few ATs for their admin sections, and used Norton
Commander. With the "NCS" menu systems that they have developed,
in my opinion they are better off than with the MACs.
Flexible & pwerful menus can literally mean: "SHHOT!"
But on the MAC, the quadriplegic man/ woman has to POINT first.
I dare anyone to say that POINTing with a mouthstick /trackball
is better than SHOOTing your mouthstick at one of the buttons on
a keyboard.
MACs are for preschool children who have trouble knowing their
ABC's. If you can read, try a menu system, and SHOOT!
Quadriplics don't have to POINT before they SHOOT. And they
should not be forced to, either.
Comments & arguments please. Because when I express viewpoints
similar to the above in other places, I want to be convincing,
well considered and very persuasive.
