I'm looking for an organization that might provide access
to computers and printers to help people living on low incomes.

Here is the specific situation:

I work in the laser print account office, and an individual came
by who needs to print a manuscript.  I couldn't give her
a print account since she isn't a student or affiliated with
the university, but I'd like help in some way, maybe with an idea
or a lead to a place where she could get low-cost printing.

She's working with MacWrite, and will provide her own paper.

She does't have a phone, and will call my office again on
Thursday Mar 23.

Thanks,
Sheila Herndon

She can go into any Kinkos and use their facilities.  Unfortunatly, it 
is not cheap.  She can "rent" a Mac for $12/hour (which will be 
prorated) and she can print for 49-cents per page (Kinkos provides the 
paper).

If anyone knows of a cheaper place, I am sure it would be 
appreciated--not by me since I went out and bought my own laser printer!
