hi bobbi

specifically, my number one problem is being required to use the trigger icon. which will trigger my seizures.

yes, i remember you as a braintalk nerd, and i remember how kind and helpful you were.

we were fortunate in epilepsy to have both howdydave and david H. as nerds. in order to use the internet at all, photosensitives have to get pretty computer savvy pretty fast, and we understand the problem as no one else can. because we had homeboys as nerds, we didn't need to go outside the forum very often for help. once when i needed to go to the computer fourm, you may remember a couple of years ago a long thread on when i was trying to set up firefox, i remember you helping with that.

i am a strong believer in transparancy. i would much prefer to have this entire discussion out in the open.

thank you for understanding my problem and for taking the time to try to solve it. i remembered how helpful you are, and i was right!
