[Irl-dean] Semantic Gangstarr and other video resources

[Mark Magennis]

The AssistiveWare videos (www.assistiveware.com/videos.php) are  
tremendous. They show various people with disabilities using  
AssistiveWare software to do normal stuff - write a book, run a  
business, play video games, etc. The production values are extremely  
high - widescreen, great quality (at least the QuickTime versions,  
haven't looked at the others), well filmed and well edited. I find  
them very inspiring.
