But, we are "talking", with our hands (and me with my eyes to find the keys). But a touch typist would be looking at the screen all the time. We are "seeing" what was just "touched" in. That is, unless you are blind. Then you would be using a brail reader or something. But you are still percieving me touching with my hands and making words you may understand. If you can see and touch. then you are about equal in your communications with me. Since i can't hear you. Also, I can't see you. so I am blind in a way to see who i'm communicating with. > > Wow!

But > "natural" is not the same for all of us." > I agree with you. To someone that can't see. Supernatural is to see. since it is not a natural thing upon birth. About blind people on the Internet. I talk to a few a lot. The tastes that I have are pretty much the same for certain bands. I have talked with people on certain "Live" lists and on the Creed list earlier in time. > I agree totally > ..... > ..

Jim -- We don't claim Interactive EasyFlow is good for anything -- if you think it is, great, but it's up to you to decide. If Interactive EasyFlow doesn't work: tough. If you lose a million because Interactive EasyFlow messes up, it's you that's out the million, not us. If you don't like this disclaimer: tough. We reserve the right to do the absolute minimum provided by law, up to and including nothing. This is basically the same disclaimer that comes with all software packages, but ours is in plain English and theirs is in legalese. We didn't really want to include any disclaimer at all, but our lawyers insisted. We tried to ignore them but they threatened us with the attack shark at which point we relented. -- Haven Tree Software Limited, "Interactive EasyFlow" To unsubscribe or change your preferences for the Creed-Discuss list, visit: http://www.winduplist.com/ls/discuss/form.asp
