[Carl Brahe]

A 16-year-old boy in Japan with Werdnig Hoffmann Disease is reported
by a Japanese computer magazine to be the first person to write
independently, using his mind to operate a computer.
He is reported to have written a letter to his girl friend asking her
to the prom. He uses a switch called MCTOS (www.mctos.com) to operate
his computer.
