ADA Wank, with a side of Mac Vs. PC and Liberal Vs. Conservative!
So, two California women are suing Apple for alleged accessibility violations in its SF retail store. The comments on the article are, needless to say, wanky, with some complaining about the liberal activist agenda, allegations that the women are just out to make a quick buck, and the occasional disabled person chiming in on both sides of the issue.

Also, WTF is a "standing wheelchair?"

	I had maybe one or two classes back in college where we had to go around campus in wheelchairs for a mere hour, and it was exhausting (as well as kind of annoying), and that's with a group of special education majors. I doubt that this other kind of person would last much longer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I did something stupid to my ankle in HS, Freshman year and spent a month of volunteering at a haunted house on crutches. Senior year it happened again and I said "Bugger all that for a lark. I'm using the school rental wheelchair."

After a day with an assembly, the "Senior Store" (showing us how our lives are basically going to go to the dogs after school) and other misadventures, I came to have a new appreciation for wheelchair issues.
