The reason we consider this a “large print” computer, in addition to it being in the Large Print room, is that it has:

-a 20″ monitor, set to 800×600 resolution
-Zoomtext software v8.1 installed
-A desktop shortcut right to Display Proporties, in case a patron wants to change the resolution or color scheme, etc.

I asked our network admin, and was told that we used to have JAWS installed, but we had trouble with it, and our patrons didn’t like it, so we took it off.

It could only improved by adding at the end a simple list of everything about the “COMPUTER, LOW VISION, BASIC”, or whatever name you have given it.

I looked at the reference telling about your other aids and was impressed. Good job.
