Hadn't touched a computer (word processors don't count, do they?) before one of my children received an adapated PowerBook/tablet* used to augment communication. The seven year fight with eduction to provide the assessment ended 3 years ago. Now we have two Quadras, a 650 and 660AV, both needed repairs and/or lots of peripherals. Working on getting them networked** and then will add an adapted keyboard (or two), access switch(es) [IR and button] so that other kids don't have to wait 7 years***... We've recently completed a trial on the new iBook version of the tablet, anticipate owning one soon. * 11" flat panelish touch screen housed over a 5300 w/o a keyboard (newer version is a 14" touch screen) ** with (loath to mention on the QuadList) a PM7100/66av, a PC from the Quadra era, and a recently added PC tower, all needing repairs and/or peripherals) *** students graduating H.S. this year have had the right, by law, to education programs and services using assistive technologies... few have had access greatful ___________________________________________________ GO.com Mail Get Your Free, Private E-mail at http://mail.go.com -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
