[rehab] Justification concerning the purchose of a mac

[Lansaw,Jane (DARS)]

Good point.  Alissa, could she do the same thing with an iphone?  She may be able to get an NFB technology loan if she can't afford one, and totally bypass the agency.

Macs cost a good deal more than PC's so I'd make sure she adds up her numbers and if its cheaper than a laptop with JFW on it then use that as part of her argument. What about an Ipad with a wireless keyboard? It depends on what her uses are for it. If she needs a full computer then it wouldn't work but if she's needing something with portable internet and the ability to take notes in class, then it might work.

Dear List, Their is a young lady who is on another list I'm on, and she wants rehab to purchose a Mac computer for her. Her justification is that the mac includes voice over, and being a client of our rehabilitation program here in Florida, this to me doesn't sound like a verry strong justification. Does rehab purchose Mac's for clients, and what would make the purchose of a mac more feasible than the purchose than a lap top running windows? RJ _______________________________________________
