The other thing to consider with this is that we will be getting and
having newer radios being released onto the market that will be like
computers that may use mice to do all the radio functions, and so far
nobody has even explored these kinds of arrangements to my knowledge to
make them work for us.  I'll post more on this one in a minute, but I am
finding myself in a really weird situation and that is that here you have
a computer that is using Win-NT and it is used for dispatching, but I
guess you can't do your radio functions with the keyboard but just with a
mouse or a touch screen.  I must say that from a standpoint of someone who
has dispatched for a little while this is putting others who are blind out
of a career until someone can at least figure out a way to make the
keyboard work so one can do the various radio functions.
