Dear List members:

May I make a plea to refer to the subject of the current thread
as software for PEOPLE WITH LEARNING DIFFERENCES.

There's no point in looking FOR ANYTHING for people who are
"disabled" who by dictionary definition = can't do, inoperable,
non-functioning, incapacitated, a/k/a as good as dead.

If WE don't say it right=POSITIVELY, who will?

Positive Sells.  Positive Wins. EVERY TIME.
