"About Me Page"
This is how I "drive" my wheelchair - using a joystick under my chin, to control the chair. I haven't had any major accidents yet! Such as running little old ladies down.... Just one backward flip, which I will not be repeating again!

And this is how I go sailing using a joystick control!

I spend two days a week on the computer to check e-mail and other things, using a head-pointer and a mouth-stick to access the keyboard and track-ball mouse. As I have said I drive a motorised wheelchair and do a bit of travelling on the train. The places I go to are the State Library in Melbourne, Victoria, (15 minutes from home by train) and also go ten-pin bowling with friends, visiting places of interest and go shopping!
