#42I sat near a blind girl testing on the bus. She way playing that touch-keyboard like a violin and knew where every letter was touch. The phone was on low-volume audio and she knew what she typed.
One of the things I love about modern technology is how some of it can increase the life quality someone who has handicap. I really wish I knew how to hack hardware, I'd love to help myself. At least I'm the resident accessibility nazi at work!

Congratulations!!!
