This might be useful
Some people won't use a computer - they say they are too old to learn something new. Others however, particularly as they get older, might find using a computer inpossible due to sight impairment.
Now available is a great piece of software for blind people that reads out the screen.
Called Thunder, it has been developed by blind couple Roger and Margaret Wilson-Hinds, and is offered free of charge. As it says on their web site
Thunder is a reading aid and restores the ability to write, keep up to date with information, learning and work, while remaining within the mainstream of Society.
Download the software and read more at http://www.screenreader.net/. It would make a great present for a friend or relative.
