To have a true ahhhh detailed conversation you need both hands . Simple as that, the other 2nd hand Bumps up the language to a higher level _________________________

NucleusG4 MasterBlaster Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 9780 Loc: Miami, Fl.	I thought about lip reading as well but I think that is a learned skill ? Yes, it is. You aren't born with it. Most deaf people can lip read at some level. To have a true ahhhh detailed conversation you need both hands . Simple as that, Put the phone in a cradle and you have both hands free. Simple as that.

NucleusG4 MasterBlaster Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 9780 Loc: Miami, Fl.	?? Why wouldn't they be able to make a call. Maybe not on a touch screen phone... but surely on a regular phone. _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/
