Ceri, as ever, your words are sensible and wise.<br>
<br>
Personally I feel quite moved by the plight of this poor little boy
and feel that it is our moral duty to help if we can.<br>
It needs the utmost of tact and I think we should make contact
carefully, and gently and start by saying we MAY be able<br>
to help. There are all sorts of things we don't know. I'd be
surprised , for example, if the NHS hasn't already provided some
kind of prosthetic.<br>
What are these "bionic hands" in design? I suspect they are reading
and using nerve impulses. Even this isn't beyond us in theory , but
practice is another matter.<br>
<br>
We should offer help just as a matter of pure humanity and we should
see any PR as a secondary issue and a bonus if it happens.<br>
<br>
How to make contact is another thing, but there is that Facebook
page. There may also be an issue about the word "hacker" as well and
I would suggest something <br>
on the lines as describing us as a group of engineering and
electronics enthusiasts. Perhaps mentioning some of our people are
university types would help.<br>
