A local friend whose husband, a former journalist, has had a stroke, and is finding it more and more difficukt to use the computer which has been such a blessing to him. She asked me for ideas, and I said I'd fwd her post to Jeff Jones, co-owner of CARE, and to the PIEN list also. Any suggestions can be sent to me and I'll pass them along. Thanks for any help , on their behalf and mine--- Jean P. wrote----- > >Hope your computer friend can help us find a writing program that is very >simple to use.
