Microsoft Add-on Mocks Disabled Children

From Kim Murphy

      Many of you may know of Hot Bar, an Outlook Express add-on that adds graphics and sounds to your emails and email program.

      When you open up your email program (if you have Hot Bar), there is a red tab that says "options", then under Email Notifier and under the "funny" category you can choose "SpecialEd" as an email notification sound affect. The voice says: "Duhhh, dats the mail!"

      If you find this offensive, please email the company and demand for the offending sound effect to be removed.

      Options> Email Notifier> Funny> SpecialEd> "Duhhh, dats the mail!"

      This just sickens me. Please take just a moment to email the company at all of the email addresses listed below. We have to get this off! Please also forward this to your friends, family, other listservs, etc. and encourage others to write the company.
