My Mother has poor eyesight and limited hand coordination due to a stroke, but would like to learn how to use a computer and send email - Is there anything on the market suitable for people with restricted ability?
 
there is a bit in yer windaes pack especially for this very thing. dunno what its called but its there. if you reinstall windows it should give you the option, i think.
 
Hello,

You can change various built in settings on the computer by going to:
Start - Control panel - Accessibility Options. (I use Windows XP, however i assume it is similar on all versions of Windows).

There are also some options like on screen keyboard, magnifier, narrator etc, to choose from by going to:
Start - All programs - Accessories - Accessibility

Hope this helps,

Scott.
 
Thanks for the responses - I was wondering if there is an "A B C" type of guide for email etc. those.... I'l look into the set-up options, the keyboard on screen seems like a good idea
