Subject: Free refurbished computers



Hello All: 

I want to share this with all of you for your information, in case you or
someone you know may be able to benefit.  I am passing on a link to a

website for the Texas Center for the Physically Impaired (TCPI).  This 
organization has had, for 15 years, a program where for a $100 donation they
will provide individuals who are blind or visually impaired, living in the
United States or Canada, with a computer.  The computer is a

refurbished unit that includes keyboard, mouse, sound card, monitor and 
speakers.  They use Windows XP machines that they get donated from 
businesses.  The computer also includes a demo version of the 
Window-Eyes screen reader and a demo of the ZoomText screen 

magnification software.  If a recipient can use ZoomText, they are able 

to get a licensed version for free from TCPI; however, the same does not 

hold true for Window-Eyes.  This is thanks to AI Squared.  Also, there 

is a seven-tape tutorial on how to use the computer that is included. 

For more information, go to:

.  You can also call 

214-340-6328 (Voice).  The website doesn't list a TTY number.  You may 

also Dr. Langford, TCPI President about this program at 

boblang at airmail.net 
.  I do not know what sort of documentation of 

disability or anything like that they require.
