Ah, the characterizations of comm. tech. phenomena that trial attorneys will stoop to. Recall a few decades ago, when the defense in Ronald Zamora's murder trial claimed temporary insanity for their client based on his "television intoxication" in general and his love of the program Kojak in particular? Not an exact parallel to the current case, but similar enough to be interesting. Christopher J.

While using a computer all day doesnt mean you are asperters - those who are aspergers tend to gravitate to worlds they can deal with and handle - such as computers, intellectual work, online games.... Being an academic or computer geek doesnt mean you are aspergers, but I sure know a lot of them who are. For fun look at http://www.wrongplanet.net/ --- Andrea Kavanaugh <kavan@vt.edu> wrote:
yes, using a computer (or any other tool) all day is just the technology of our time. what about the 'old' days when instead of writing and communicating via a computer we were doing it via paper and pencil and telephone for most of the working day?
