And find no big difference between MS and Google concerning IT in education.
They both behave as dope peddlers [*] on the schoolyard. First they give it away for free. Once the youngsters are addicted, the cash flows in.
[*] As Tom Lehrer so eloquently explained in
his 1'42" song "The Old Dope Peddler" in 1959.
If you don't know the song or the artist, well,
why not Google (or Bing) for it?

Learn Velotype. A good velotypist can type up to 1000 characters per minute.
Velotype is an old Dutch invention, see http://velotype.com/ and Wikipedia.
Good luck,

Hearing aids factory costs are around Euro 20 to 50. For normal hearing loss, due to aging,
try this link http://babble.nl/ . Their cheapest, 'in your ear' model is E. 90,--. An advances model,

Hello,
We just released a CMS for schools. We tried to make it
usable by blind and/or visually impared persons,
on the visitors side as well as in the content mnanagement.
It can be used with a braille reader and/or speech synthesizer
and also by persons with a normal visus.
First preliminary tests seem promising.
And, last but not least, it is OSS/GPL.
