High-tech firms and computer companies, with their easier access to and knowledge of new technology, are often in the vanguard of efforts to work with the disabled. Hewlett-Packard Co., for one, has educated its managers about devices that can be used to assist employees who are blind or deaf, says Maricella Gallegos, who manages the Palo Alto, Calif., firm's disabilities employment program.

...Hewlett-Packard provides, among other things, Braille books, interpreters and text telephone (TTY) service--phone conversations in which an operator transcribes a hearing person's response that is transmitted and read by a deaf person on a text telephone screen.

The Redmond offspring won't all be geniuses of course; someone has to marry the beautiful people in marketing. But many of the Redmond kids will be frighteningly smart mutants. There's no telling how far this evolutionary shortcut can go. Each generation of geniuses will be smarter...
...goodies as 333-MHz speed, fat hard drives, plenty of memory, bundled office suites that take you from spreadsheets to word processing to building your own website--all for under $1,000. Rube Goldberg-like contraptions that scan, fax, print and copy, like the Xerox Document WorkCenter 450CP and Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 3100 seen on these pages, stuff these common office duties into compact boxes that easily fit on a shelf and sell for less than $500.
