Hi all,
I have been asked to do a short presentation, in September, to a
group of Occupational Therapists who happen to use computers with
patients/ clients.
The thrust of the presentation is customising applications
(commercial pref.) on Acorn Machines. I have a few ideas myself (altering
sprites to give an 'adult feel' etc) but am looking to improve these with
low cost improvements or add ons that you may be aware of.
The patients that use the Acorn kit are included in the following,
Neuro-rehab (head injury, stroke etc), mental health, learning
difficulties, spinal injury etc. The Acorn kit could include Beebs to Risc
PCs - but I would prefer Archimedes and onwards to help limit the length.
Any help or advice, be it programs, tweaks, discussion, pointers
etc welcome. Bearing in mind the target group are not programmers (and I'm
v. rusty in that dept. myself).
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy. (Email follow up if you like. :-) )
... A fool and his computer are soon parted.
