[nfbcs] refurbished computers for blind people

[Elizabeth Campbell]

Hello Suzie,

Sorry to chime in so late on this thread. The organization is called
Computers for the Blind, and recently, the executive director Dave Jeppson
came to our chapter meeting to update us about the program. I think
Computers for the Blind is a good option for those who need a computer, but
be aware that the machines don't come with software like Outlook and
Microsoft Office. The computers are running Windows 7 and also come with
NVDA installed. I can't remember if there is also a trial version of JAWS
included.
Dave told us that he would like to expand and provide iPads, iPhones and the
like but that the equipment is more expensive and more difficult to come by.
Computers for the Blind obtains donated computers and then refurbishes them.

Hope this helps.

Liz

Hi Everyone,

 

Do any of you know the information on the place in Texas which sells
computers to blind people for around $200?
