Paul & Jimmy came up with a solution which enables
a disabled veteran to communicate by modifying and adapting
a computer for his use. The only way he could communicate
at that time was pointing to the alphabet on a peice
of cardboard. After everything else failed to try to repair
or replace his original 11 year old computer
we, the Computer crew, came into action
to help this veteran communicate once again.
The Computer Crew will be teaching the veteran to use
the modified computer to communicate more effectively.
