However, that should not stop you from participating. look at me. I am blind and service computers part time (self employment income) and do fairly well. it helps to also have a part time stable job over at the food store. :) as for your dad, is it his career, or yours? (sorry to be blunt, but I really don't like it when someone tells me I can't do something simply on the basis of my disability). --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
