[games_access] Survey: Casual gamers disproportionately disabled

[Corey 'Dis' Krull - DGAMER]

Yeah, I think it is great that they are doing something too. It at least
helps out the cause and improving the survey is a good idea.

BTW, I got the OCZ Neural Impulse Actuator last week and I will writing a
review for it soon. I'm still getting used to using it but I must say that
it's pretty cool.

I'm talking with them now to see if they would share their report 
with the SIG -- Ernest Adams sent a few of us an email to point out 
the article as well.

Yes, some of the numbers are suspect but the important thing, in my 
mind, is that they are doing SOMETHING at least to help out the 
cause! So once we can go through their report then we can come up 
with plan for improving their survey or data conclusions.

Anyway, the recent flurry of activity is great!
