Hello,

I have a 3rd year college student who is confined to a wheelchair and 
has trouble typing on his Mac laptop. He has looked into purchasing 
Key Strokes which is a fully-functional advanced virtual on-screen 
keyboard that allows you to type with a mouse, trackball, head 
pointer or other mouse emulator to type characters into any standard 
Macintosh application. It also provides advanced multilingual word
prediction.

It costs about $300.00!

Do any of you have any familiarity with this product and care to 
share some comments/advice?

Do any of you use something similar that would be less costly?

Any HELP would be appreciated!

Thanks!


Sue
