Many systems now adays run $1,000+ for good performance. You don't have to spend that kind of money for a solid machine. You can just buy off of eBay (or similar such site) cheap, low end hardware, and put Linux on it. Some Linux distributions have been specifically built for these low end systems (the Lite Distributions), and therefore will fly on this low spec hardware. Plus, you save yourself a great deal of money that would otherwise be invested in things like virus protection and Microsoft Office, since Linux comes with everything a home user would need right out of the box.

  • wait if your blind then what do glasses do? do they make it so you can see allittle?

  • @tallyhoman911 For someone with low vision, I can see very well (20/70). I have many friends with no sight who this video is targeted at.

  • If ur blind why are you looking at a computer

  • @nick41324 We use a piece of software technology called a screen reader. There's JAWS for Windows, Window-Eyes, NVDA, System Access To Go, and on the Mac side there's VoiceOver, and on the Linux side (under the GNOME desktop environment) there's Orca, there's also Speakup.

  • @SuperTeheinc It's alright. I still would like you to watch those videos, though. 

  • @SuperTeheinc "How well can I see?" "No glasses = How Much Vision?" "My Experience when I was blind", and "People take their vision for granted." Watch those videos, then you'll understand perfectly about the glasses.
