      Hello Jimmy!   
      
   20 Oct 16 14:25, you wrote to Hawke:

   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> '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 :-(
