I can't really remember, Phillip. I do know that I read it with
particular reference to disabled vets and computing - I just skimmed it
to get the gist, which was that the US .gov was actually doing something
to give amputees and quadriplegics/paraplegics computer access. I admit,
I didn't bother to skim it deeply.

I've just done a few searches using alltheweb, but no dice.

Cutting the space budget really restores my faith in humanity.  It
eliminates dreams, goals, and ideals and lets us get straight to the
business of hate, debauchery, and self-annihilation.
