     Subject:       MAC shareware for RESNA SIG-11
 
     Apple does have quite an extensive collection of Macintosh software 
     utilities and applications that are of interest to people with 
     disabilities, rehabilitation professionals, and special educators. It 
     includes everything from easy-access utilities that make using the Mac 
     easier to use for a person with a physical impairment (in terms of 
     negotiating menus, windows, keyboard, etc.), to talking software, from 
     electronic books/texts, to software that provides TTY-emulation for a 
     modem. All of the software is either shareware or public domain. The 
     collection is updated constantly (either on our end, or via users who 
     submit files to become part of the group).
 
     Currently the collection is on AppleLink on the Empower Bulletin Board 
     and on eWorld in The Disability Connection. It is also available on CD 
     through the AppleLink CD program (which basically takes all the 
     information on AppleLink and dumps it to a CD, and then sells it to 
     users). Probably the easiest/cheapest way to get to the collection, 
     though, is via eWorld, Apple's new online service.

     You can call 800/775-4556 to request that an eWorld starter kit be sent 
     out to you (it's free). The monthly fee for eWorld is $8.95 and that 
     includes 2 free hours of use during evenings and weekends. For 
     additional use, it's $5/hr during evenings and weekends and $8/hr 
     during weekdays. The starter kit explains all that in more detail.
