@jabrown0407 That is really cool! Have you used one of these computers (just to try it out)? Where did you learn of the computers? I’m going to look up that organization just for my own interest! https://computersfortheblind.org/. Here is the website.

@becsbuddy I live in the Dallas area and the organization is in the community I live in - which happens to be the headquarters for Texas Instruments also. There was a short feature on Computers for the Blind on a local TV station. I have a retired friend who is a techy and he was looking for something to do. I suggested he reach out to them to see if he could volunteer. He now goes twice a week to reimagine the PCs - so that's the story. I have not seen or tried a computer, just visit with my friend about them some. Learning more each week about them. I see my friend at breakfast one or two days a week - there are around 15 or so who show up for breakfast when we can on any given day - loose knit but it works.
