Re: one handed typing

if you call your local vocational rehab center and ask them for info on one-handed keyboards, they may be able to help find what you are looking for. i went through voc rehab several years ago for the other disabilities i have and they provided a special keyboard for several people i was working with.

Re: UBPN Chatroom

i say that because even on wednesday nights there is sometimes no one there either. i was there this past wednesday and no one else was there. there have been a couple of other times on wednesday that no one was there. one time there was someone there but did not stay but a few minutes.

Re: UBPN Chatroom

i think they should just shut down the chat room. no one is ever in there. i check in there several times a day and about once a week someone has been in there and has been timed out.
