[games_access] WiiHelm and misc

[d. michelle hinn]

Hi there! Quick reply -- no, I'm not hearing impaired but Reid 
Kimball is and he works for LucasArts and is on this list!

I'm dyslexic and I have a chronic condition that causes me to be in 
complete pain (ER-style pain) and pretty much bedridden for 1-2 weeks 
a month...those "invisible" disabilities. So that's my story in a 
nutshell!

Interesting thinkgeek "product" -- it's a shame they aren't really 
selling it! That would certainly be a solution for some who want to 
play the wii -- I'll put them on my "letters to write" list!

I forgot about the game project management book! Congrats on being 
the top student -- keep it up!!!
