Hi Jackie.

RNIB sells computers through suppliers like Dolphin and Sight and Sound, depending on the computer package you choose to buy. They also have computers which can be demonstrated at the resource centre in Judd Street, with all the different access technology products preinstalled. If you give the Technology for Life team a call through the helpline on 03031239999, demonstrations can be arranged and impartial advice given freely and without obligation.

All the best, Ibrahim,

Hi Derek

As I posted before, I may have it wrong, and am happy to find out and report
back.  But I thought RNIB could provide training on items outwith the shop,
or at least some hands-on prior to purchase.

Kind Regards,

Hi Jackie
I thought RNIB only  offers training for products they  sell.

As far as I know, RNIB is offering help to anyone regardless of what device
they have, as part of their £5m Online Today funding from the Big Lottery.
If this is not the case, or there is another scheme running that differs
from my information, then I am sure someone will put us right.

Kind Regards,

yes but that's crazy, because the person told me that it didn't matter what
type of device so for instance an iPhone or an android phone.
