Almost 18 years ago I was fitted for a Tongue touch keypad which had nine buttons That I pressed With my tongue. With it I was able to use an X10 system, run my computer, and tried out A Tongue touch wheelchair. Unfortunately, they ran out of money and were not able to offer support after the first year. But it was very cool, and good thing for us women J, the tongue never does get tired. It was very easy to learn, and because each button had its own little sound, I could impress my grandkids by playing simple tunes. Sure wish they had elaborated on it, and not run out of money. I had the number 6 one they made. Have a great day every one. Joan

I often have to blow on my sip and puff speakerphone , Ameriphone. It is often not close enough to do what was intended. Tongue control sounds so very useful as I know many of us cannot move our arm in bed for very well for very well out of bed. The cost may be exorbitant or difficult for many of us. I know of no funding source for that type of equipment. Dana . Its about time this becomes available. Think about it, the tongue is almost as dexterous as a finger. To me being able to have that level of control with a direct transfer, would be so valuable. Plus its still useful even if you have hands ----- Original Message ---- From: Greg <HYPERLINK "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: HYPERLINK "mailto:[email protected]"[email protected] Sent: Monday, August 25, 2008 5:42:10 PM Subject: [QUAD-L] Tongue Compter That article in today¢s paper about that Tongue Computer is pretty cool. They implant a magnet / computer chip on your tongue and on the back of your teeth. Then you wear this big head gear, but they hope to miniaturize it all later. But what a cool idea.
