Exactly, I use Sticky Keys

Thanks!

OK, I'm going to blame the context of the answer as well as it being a reply to Newsy, but I totally read that as "Anyone who can put all my balls in his mouth ($450)…"

So, using Ubuntu and getting it working with just a foot gives you gnarly geek-points, dude.

1. Of course all people are different, but once when I was leaving a store I held the door for a grizzled, old dude in a wheelchair. He got pissed off and yelled at me. In your experience, what's the proper ettiquite for stepping in? Am I supposed to wait until someone asks?
2. Are there any items that you'd like to have that would make things easier on you? Special keyboard, something to help you get in your chair, one of those hats that hold a couple of beers …

Was it wishful thinking? Be honest.

That sounds like a grumpy old man. I don't know that there is any etiquette per se, just common sense. If you see someone in a chair struggling with something offering help is cool. If they're doing fine and you still offer it could be misconstrued as patronizing by some.

If I could pick anything that would make it easier it would probably be the frogpad keyboard. With it's small size I could probably type much easier.

If I saw someone possibly struggling and wasn't sure, I would probably say, "Are you doing alright, or do you need a hand? ..... ooooooh yeah, right. Oops."

because there's no way im typing out NoArmsJames everytime I refer to you on a thread. I'm a 2 index finger and one thumb typer. I do not have a fantastic typing foot.

[am now thinking that 'fantastic typing foot' would be a great name for a punk band]

I think James is fine.

[Mr_Matt]

I have to say this has been one of the best threads I've seen in a long while.

So Thank You James!

And in the spirit of asking more random questions...

Have you ever been to a strip club?

And if so were the dancers freaked out by your disability or did they fake enthusiasm cos they thought you would be an easy mark?

Well thank you, I had a feeling this would be fun.

I have been to strip clubs. I've never seen a dancer freaked out by my disability. Nor have I been seen as an easy mark. In most cases I get more for less. A lot of dancers let me get away with a lot. I've sucked on their tits, had them rubbing my cock through my shorts, they'll maneuver their snatches over my foot so I can rub, etc...
Once at a club in NYC a dancer let me eat her out in a private room, I only had to buy one dance that lasted three or four songs. So I got Keith beat there.
