       Hello Jimmy!              20 Oct 16 14:25, you wrote to Hawke:               JA> I'm all for equal rights, but having a PRIVATE service        JA> that doesn't do what you want - then suing them? I don't        JA> get it...              I can see their point being confied in a wheelchair. Transportation       for wheelchair bound people isn't cheap. And often they don't have       it to go very often. I have a friend who is fortunate enough       to have an accessible Van, but I hear that's becoming a rare even.              However she does do the Uber thing for disabled (she is in wheelchair       can take on board a second person with a wheelchair if they can       physically buckle the chair in.               JA> I do computer work on the side - I also sing and play        JA> guitar. I prefer to work on laptops so I can take them        JA> home, etc. to work on them easier. If I choose not to        JA> 'come to your home' and work on your desktop and printer        JA> should I be sued for that?              But are you suffering from a disability that keeps you from using your       own equipment and you have to come to my home and use a braille printer?              I can totally see the disabled's view on this... but I don't think that       a service that involves other people helping people and making a little       moolah on the side should be penalized.              But they may find that ONE judge that will push the lawsuit through :-(              Allen               JA> ...
