You know, the more I think about this, the more I wonder if epileptics should be using computers, anyhow. I mean, there are lots of flashy things on web pages ... ads and stuff that are designed specifically to fascinate and garner attention. It seems as though it might actually be dangerous for an epileptic to surf the web thing.
