Unfortunately, this student in't in an audio-related field. if she were, the
justification would be a lot easier. Still plugging away at it, though.

considering my training and background, foisting machines off on the taxpayer
and then rationing them out to VR clients only after a big go around smacks of
misappropriation of public funds and malfeasance. Thats a strong accusation I

An argument I presented in my proposal to California Rehab was the

I highly doubt this is justifiable, Brandt and we have frivolous law suits in
Canada as well.

Absolutely. I agree we do have a terrible history of suits here.

Ah actually it might be. The reason I say that is because it's a waste
of public funds and those people who pay taxes.

I have read the responses to this inquiry with great interest. I would like to
add a few thoughts.
First, how well does this student know the Mac?
The rehab agency for which I once worked would want to know this. The reason?
It is fairly likely that the rehab agency in question doesn't have quali

Hi Eric,
Well, to be fair, I don't think it's been in the warehouse for five years, but
it wouldn't surprise me if it's been in there for one or two. And the fact
that you have a stockpile of something just isn't the factor that should be the
basis for selecting a person's technology. So yeah
having items in a wherehouse for 5 years?> thats a waste of public funds, not
to mention a potential pollution hazard. I don't think there would be much

all this equipment and never disbursed it to the clients should be
I agree, but they don't care.

The counter argument to this is that those PCs are out of date, and the copies
of Jaws come with out of date SMA's which may cost to upgrade. Stockpiling
does not sound like much more than a cop-out.

Thank you, Gigi. I'm not sure much of this will carry much weight, for the
reasons I just explained. but I'll try and get them to talk to Texas. Someday
these idiots just have to move into the 21st-century.

Hi Erik,
Thanks for this. Unfortunately I live in the rural backwater that is southern
Illinois. Our VR people are at least 10 years behind. What they've told my
student is that they already have PCs and copies of JAWS stock-piled in a
warehouse, so even if the mac cost $5 it would be more e
Hi there
Although the cost may be a good justification to rehab, I think the second
option of the employer wanting training and use of Apple products is an even
better argument in this case. You might want to also get the employer on this
as well, if it's possible. What they say means a lot.

I haven't done so myself, but it is possible.
The 2 justifications that can be used are:
1. lower cost of ownership (as accessibility is included)
2. Greater included feature set for the cost involved (built in camera,
bluetooth, wi-fi, firewire, USB 2.x or greater, full apple repair support,

Hi Donna,
Of course as you know justification is a big thing for rehab. Is this
for personal or work purposes? Actually if you can give me a call I can

Hello all,
I am trying to advocate for student who is having difficulty getting rehab
services to purchase a Mac for her. I would be interested in hearing from those
of you who have gotten rehab to purchase a Mac. How did you go about convincing
them to do that?

Donna
