Hi, all. I am posting this for the benefit of my brother-in-law, whose cousin
was recently diagnosed with ALS. If you have any helpful information (not
necessarily limited to his request), please e-mail to him. Thanks in
advance for help.
*************************************************************************
This is a strange request, but perfectly suited to the internet.
I need to learn about the mobility and communication systems that
Stephen Hawking has rigged up to deal with his paralysis. In case
you don't recall, Hawking is the English Physicist/Cosmologist who
wrote "A Brief History of Time." He suffers from ALS, and a good
friend of mine has just been diagnosed with the same problem.
I'm interested in the hardware, the software, the cost and the
contacts necessary to obtain or build this or a related system. In
other words, everything of practical significance.

Thanks,
