I was not aware that he couldn't use the computer because of his arms. How exactly does that work? You don't hold the computer above your head.
John McCain receives disability so it is probablity listed in his medical records.

Update: John McCain disabilities, injuries and emails. Calling on Sen. Obama’s campaign to pull this very, very rude ad. Mcnorman’s Weblog

"Eight years ago the Boston Globe wrote about John McCain’s war injuries.

McCain gets emotional at the mention of military families needing food stamps or veterans lacking health care. The outrage comes from inside: McCain’s severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes."
