the $9 CHIP computer
  This is extracted from the NPR broadcast January 21
The first Mac computer which came out in 1984, cost nearly $2,500, and 
now the $9 CHIP computer is only $9, has 4 gigabytes of storage and fits 
in the palm of your hand. It can connect to Wi-Fi and has Bluetooth. you 
can also connect a keyboard, and mouse which are not included.
CHIP's Kickstarter campaign raised
$2 million. The NPR report made no mention of its operating system or 
about its ability to work with assistive applications.


EASI doesn't plan a Webinar on this however, but those of us who are 
old-timers remember a simple laptop for $2,000 or more and now any 
computer store can sell one to you for less than $500. Now NVDA is even 
a fairly decent screen reader that's free.

We'll send email in a couple days with a few of our coming Webinars.

Meantime, remember that our annual membership provides you privileges 
like free access to any fee-based Webinars and a $70 discount on all our 
courses. Read about membership from
