In a similar vein I guess it's an outrage that the blind governor of New York David Patterson doesn't know how to drive a car. After all, transportation issues are pretty important. How dare he serve as governor while being ignorant of what it's like to navigate New York's highways.

On the Internet hi-way though you can have no use of hands and still use a computer for most needs. It's called voice command programing. It works pretty well I have a cousin that has used it for a long time. She also has a cell phone she uses the same way. The cousin has virtually zero usage of either hand. I'm fairly certain McCain has the monetary resources to purchase this type of technology.

Voice command is something that I keep revisiting every so often. It works, sort of.

The problem is that as of the last time I looked at it (about six months ago), there’s a LOT of websites it doesn’t work with, especially those with a lot of Flash. You’d have to be able to use the keyboard and mouse to navigate. In addition, the very best systems require some training time and that can be *extremely* frustrating.

If you used It’s called voice command programing to post on FR, you would be ridiculed with every post...
