Lyn has a new Ipad stand for her wheelchair. It came yesterday, and it’s quite cool. I think she lot it from the web, possibly Ebay. It’s a very nice piece of equipment, specifically designed to attach to a wheelchair. L got it to replace her old stand, which was originally for her Lightwriter. It is just about perfect for lyn, which made me wonder: could whoever designed this new stand have taken inspiration from seeing Lyn performing at the paralympics? Of course, on one level that’s rather farfetched; but if you look at it, and note how well it fits Lyn’s needs, I can’t help but speculate. It seems to be tailor-made for someone who uses an ipad with their nose. All it would take is for a canny designer somewhere to have been watching that ceremony and think ”aha!” I doubt we’ll ever know, but the thought amuses me.
