OTAP places computers with people who have handicaps, limitations, challenges, or special needs and to schools and other institutions which serve these individuals. This helps improve computer literacy for those in the Dayton metropolitan area who aren't able to attend our many informative meetings. The meeting consists of a brief opening, SIG reports, announcements, a 60-90 minute program by a guest speaker, followed by door prizes and open discussion. Guest speakers have included representatives of Microsoft, Intel, Broderbund, Motorola, PGP, US Robotics, etc. Here are reports of some of our recent meetings .
