Mike,
First AAC device I ever saw (and helped put together was a laptop and Words+
software back in 1992 or 1993 for a client when I was working for an IL
Center. It worked well for her, but it was *heavy*! Back then, laptops
werighed more than 12 pounds, and the speaker for the Words+ added another
couple of pounds. The user was in a power chair with a tray and a vent, so
weight wasn't that big an issue. Now a LightWriter can do the same thing
that did, and weighs about 1.5 pounds.

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.
-George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950
