what we provide.</a> All computers have a 2 year warranty. Purchase orders not accepted for this grant. CFTB does not recommend and rarely approves a laptop computer for persons who use MAGic screen magnification as the laptop screen is not large enough. CFTB
now accepts credit and debit cards or Pay-Pal. Talking Typing Teacher is available from MarvelSoft for $10 through this grant. It is 90% off of retail and is highly recommended for all users!</span></b><b><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
