I've tried dasher and I no longer have enough fine motor control to work 
with it. haven't tried head/gaze trackers. they do not solve the writing 
problem.  since it is only my hands that are toast (rsi) anything other 
than speech is too slow/awkward.  also, having built interesting speech 
UI's I no longer have any patience for most GUI's.  I really like a wide 
and shallow UI, not the deep and narrow GUI.  make me long for api's to 
the application functionality that bypasses the GUI.
