Bluetooth virtual keyboard blinds man

In what authorities are saying is one of the most horrific accidents they have ever seen, a local man has been struck blind by a mobile peripheral designed to enhance, not destroy, his life.  The man, identified as James Norfolk of Center Blvd. was taken to St. Lucy's Charity Hospital early yesterday complaining of vision loss.  The staff there was shocked to see that his retina had been degraded due to prolonged exposure to laser light.  The man had recently purchased a Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard to use with his PDA for quick note taking and writing, the device appearing as a godsend to him in his flourishing writing career.  When interviewed by the local press, his wife, Beth, told reporters of her husband's new found love of writing fiction and how the BVK had helped him so much.  She found him many nights tapping out chapters to his book, a soon to be self-published book entitled "Medusa's Wrath".  Authorities are now investigating the company that sold Mr. Norfolk the keyboard, as well as its manufacturer, i-Tech.
