The Good Bytes Cafe has stained concrete floors, jars of scones and a small
bank of computers in the corner, making it much like any Internet cafe.  

But the computers - outfitted with a joystick mouse, magnifying software and
equipment allowing people to point and click with their eye movements - make
Good Bytes one of just a handful nationwide specifically designed for
disabled users.

and click with eye movements.
