Review: To Jockster, A healthy person may feel smug enough to make rude comments re the disabled person needing a microwave in an adapted position. However, if that person has the misfortune to be become aged or disabled-he will soon change his tune!! PS Ond does not remain a "Jockster', forever.

Review: Get a life - if you want a microwave installed, pay the price and shut up about discrimination. That is moronic. If you require extra work, don't think you are going to get it free. If you just want a microwave delivered then you won't pay install fees. Custom work requires time. If it's not your time then pay the best rate you can find and shut it on the discrimination victum status. Don't mouth off moronic statements. Jockster

Review: I'm about to build a house. I am in a wheelchair and requested that they locate the built-in microwave oven in the island where it's located in my present home. They want an extra $1,300 to place it there. I almost feel it's discrimination against the hanndicapped in this case.

Review: I am thrilled that Michael Graves is designing for the disabled. Where can we find his products? I am planning to build a new wheelchair accessible home, as I have MS and have become more reliant on a motorized wheelchair for mobility and want to design for possible future needs.

Review: I applaud Mr. Graves for taking this on. However, isn't it a shame that it takes the extreme example of critical injury to bring the importance of good design to this field? I can guarantee that many designers and students of design have done beautiful examples of what products for the disabled could be. Perhaps companies should design more for the actual user, not the store buyer and risk more dollars on innovation R&D, which in my defintion is research, rendering, drawing, and design.

Review: I'll be having lumbar laminectomy soon and want to find a source to get some of Michael Graves' medical toys. That's what I call them since I want them to help me but also make me smile. The hand-held shower and bath chair sounds ideal. The grabber should be stashed within two feet of the person using it. Maybe 10 or 12 in a room. An illuminated bed rail? Designed by Gabriel himself! Who doesn't want to reach out and grab a bar they can see in the dark. Where can I find a source for these gems? I'm on Social Security and live with my daughter who's working her tookus off every day. She's good natured, as am I, thank God, but we need Michael's goodies. Can we get a source list and price list? Thanks for any and all info. Keep truckin, Micky

Review: I am looking for a safe toilet set, set high for my son, auto accident in his late 40s weight 190. He is wheelchair bound, unable to use his left side, so he uses his right hand, arm for all use. Need something that bolts to the toilet so it will not tip. Most utilities for wheelchair persons are built for both balanced arms/hands. Any suggestions where?

Review: My firm works with health and wellness businesses. I've noticed time and time again that the principles of good consumer design seem to be completely foreign to most companies that design medical devices for end-users. Insulin pumps, for example, have a confusing and potentially dangerous user interface and extremely clunky design. The functionality of the product doesn't require this design. It's strictly because it's designed by engineers with no consumer electronics design expertise.

Review: Most excellent article, a designer with an injury who may be able to set a precedent to the medical field. Let's take it one step further and imagine if you will the life and challenges of a fully paralyzed person.
