After reading the message with regards to people with severe disAbilities
it brings to mind some questions? How many people who don't know Morse
code will these people with severe disAbilities be able to comunicate
with? Would we expect the nondisAbled world to learn Morse code since many
sighted persons do not know Braille?

I hate to be negative here but it would seem to me to take one of adverage
intelligence to master code since vary few people in the world understand
the dots and dashes?

It would seem to me that as out of the reach as they may be for some at
this time that computers with various software solutions will be the
factor which will bridge the gap betwene the disability community and the
nondisAbled community.
