I am finding it more and more difficult to learn to use these new technical advances so though I appreciate your offer of the Dynavox, I fear that it wouldn't be much use to me and perhaps someone else could make better use of it than I. I haven't even mastered all the things available to me in BIAB. There is just so much to learn and absorb so it can be put to use but I'm working on it as time allows.

Val,

Actually, Dynavox is not very technical - it speaks what you type into it's touch-screen keyboard. Common phrases are pre-programmed and assigned to hot keys. Literally hundreds of common phrases make typing virtually unnecessary.

Also, it's not a toy. It's a full blown Windows 7 computer with WIFI and a fairly decent audio amplifier.

I would be happy to give it to you. It's just gathering dust because I have three. I will have to locate the charger/adapter though.

I'm told that my new 15" cost $15K so the VA is taking excellent care of your old Irish friend.

Donny
