Hi All,

I have a friend in Connecticut who is working at a center for
persons with mental illnesses. She informs me that the center has
just received a Mac2.

She would like any information available about software for the Mac
which would be at an adult level, yet simple enough to capture the
interest of brand new computer users. She says that her patients
range in literacy from funtional illiterates to college graduates.
These people need to use software which will not make them feel as
if they are out of their depth. Gretchen says that these people
need confidence more than anything else.

Can anyone make suggestions? Please send netmail to: 260/204 or
260/207. Or, e-mail me here on the echo. Thanks in advance for your
help. See you on-line.

Ann P.
