I was asked to try to get some blind people who frequently visited a center
for the blind interested in audio games. I agreed. So I took some games,
copied onto a CD, to the center and was going to install them onto their
computers that the people were allowed to use during the week and on
Saturdays. I was told that I could not do that because these were computers
for business! use! only! I asked how these people are going to get
interested in games that they cannot try out? The answer was, "Well, don't
you have them on your computer? You could bring your computer here, play
the games while explaining what you're doing, then invite them to your house
instead of having them come here on a Saturday, couldn't you?" My answer,
in great disgust, was a flat! out! no! It really made me disgusted, because
the man that ran the center was totally blind himself. He would not install
any games on his computer, either, because it, too was supposedly for
business only.

Hi Thomas,
I have talked with people who told me that they had been told that since
BSVI bought their computer that they were not allowed to put games on it.
So it may not be the individuals but some of the rehab people telling them
such things. But I do know of other rehab councilors that put my games on
the clients computers.
