Can Purple Communications or other VP company SPY on us deaf Videophone consumers - can they observe our VP conversations without our knowledge? I asked that question to the Purple technician. He said no and he looked down in the same time.

Can anyone, even a hearie, download P3 in his computer w/ webcam?

Alright if I use a film to show to my ASL classes (Level Begining 101 and 102) at a community college ? If not, why not? If so, why? I wanted to check with you guys, before I decide to introduce the film. Thanks. Sqrrl.

Do you move your mouth while giving a quiz to your ASL students?

I saw your thread. The answer is NO. My 2 hearing kids ... they succeed so well. they have no problem w/ speech despite their first language is ASL! Believe me. The deaf parent can communicate with the child in sign language, but should allow the child to be exposed to the hearing world as...

Well, HOVRS has already started business right in my back yard. Actually close enough for the cmmty terps to be attrached to work there. $$$ is a Big reason. What is going to happen to a deaf community without having terps physically around? Would you want a VRS involved for your...

Wondering if it is possible for a deaf person to set up own business by teaching ASL - in class, or in workshop, or tutoring. What do you need in order to start business? I can start by setting up a 3-hour workshop.
