Well I may as well add my two pennies worth, after all I started the thread.
First up... phones. My biggest issue. I can not use them. Most countries have a text relay system for the deaf and hard of hearing alas Ireland has nada. [It did have a minicom system but is crashed and burned]
Mobile/cell phones can be used for text messages [A God send] and emails. MY blackberry does a wonderful job email wise. Now how would most off you manage a career where you can not use a phone?
Next up, when I get around to it, work!
