[Electronics-talk] Computer Usage For Deaf Persons

[Peter Russillo]

Hello Cheese and all.  Actually, computer access for the deaf would be the 
same as any sighted hearing person, except the deaf will depend on what they 
see; our deaf daughter uses computers without needing access technology; for 
deaf-blind, different story; here's where Braille displays can be helpful. 
My 2 cents.
