[BlindTlk] Looking for low cost computer/laptop

[Heather Field]

Hello,

This may be what you're needing.
You could contact this organisation. They supply a desktop computer, loaded
with accessible software and the NVidia screen-reader, to blind people who
request them.
Last time I checked, they required the blind person to pay $110 towards the 
costs. I don't know if that amount has increased.
I've heard that people are happy with the computers, or laptops, which they 
received from these folks.

All the best with finding one.

Best,
Heather Field

There are places that do custom computer work. You’re in Wisconsin there is 
a Milwaukee area based company called Inet that will discuss with you what 
you need and help in any other way. I think they do have the ability to do a 
low monthly payments so you’re not doing it at one time. I’ve never used 
them but they get great reviews here in Wisconsin from the Blind community. 
My husband was just talking about contacting them when his computer bites 
the dust to get a new one.

I don’t know if they send things out of state, but if anyone wants the 
contact information I’ll talk to my husband tonight and put it out on the 
list. There’s got to be comparable places nationwide.
