Hi Louis,
This information may be dated but I understood that the company who
licensed outspoken would arrange for a copy if the need was professional
as yours seems to be.
Have you reached out to them? Also, not sure where you are located, but the
donations may be tax deductible if you have created that sort of structure.

Hi Louis
Maybe I am off base here but Apple has a recycling program for computers. Have
you asked to see if you could get old Macs that way? You would be serving
people that would not have the money for new Macs right now unless they get
better opportunities.

Hi all.
I realise this is a long shot here and could do with a little help.
My name's Lewis, I'm the main man behind an organisation which has lifted called
"Free Macs For The Blind". This is a project I decided to launch to help young
blind and visually impaired people including students and those who can't afford
technology due to lack of support or funding.
How it all works is pretty simple. I take on unwanted apple mac systems from
companies and individuals who are happy to donate either computers, parts,
software or other products. They are then serviced, tested, upgraded and
cleaned by myself, the necessary operating systems installed and ready to go at
no cost to me or to potential recipients.
It's a project I believe in very much and have a support structure in place
including sponsors who have kindly donated tools, diagnostic equipment and
their services to help out.
A part of the work involved requires working with older macs including
powermacs before G3 blue and white systems where SCSI drives are in use, etc.
So the use of Mac OS 9.2 is going to be an essential for some users. I am
kitted out with all the software I need in terms of OS installs, etc with help
from some amazing people out there.
The downfall to this is the lack of one piece of software which is important.
That is of course OutSPOKEN 9.2 to do all the work needed and where possible
include this as a screen reader to users who may receive an older mac, if
anything above a g3 blue and white capable of OS 10.4 isn't available to them.
I'm a firm believer in recycling technology where possible, so everything I
take on is seerviced to my best possible standards to factory or as near
factory as possible. all from home.
Is there anyone here still either using or has a CD of outSPOKEN 9.2 as a
complete CD which I could use or anyone be willing to donate?
For Further details, please contact me at the following email address which is
the official port of y project.

Yours with thanks.
