[NJTechDiv] [bits] question about what computer to buy

[James Hulme]

Hello Angela,


I have some suggestions as to what PC to buy.? You might want to contact
Computers for the Blind before you make your decision.

Can you please share with the list t*he company ONLY *that you have used if
you have indeed bought a new PC? I really hope to get back on the calls
soon. I have not because of COVID-19.

Hope that helps,
