     I have a question.  I am very interested as I said in upgrading the 
current speech equiptment I am using by switching to a new package all 
together. However, I am not really rolling in the bucks and I could get a 
lone, but it just isn't finantially wise at this point.  I was wondering 
other than the Lions Club does anyone n\know of any organizations that will 
purchase or help purchase special equiptment?  I am not just looking for 
speech software and hardware, but maybe even a scaner.  If anyone has any 
suggestions I would be very greatful.  I live in Maryland if that helps.  I 
know at one time the Associated Services for the Blind in Pa. had such a 
grant from the government to buy computers and related devices only if they 
were to be used for personal not on the job use.  However, I missed the 
boat.  They don't help anyone outside of PA. any more do to some money 
trouble or something.  I appreciate any info anyone can give me.
