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:

HYPERLINK
"http://www.handicapability.org/computers.html"http://www.handicapability.or
g/computers.html
.  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.
