Technology/Equipment Grant

My goal is to have dependable, easy to use, long-lasting tools which meet my needs as a writer. Namely, a good computer and printer along with a support plan and accessories to protect the computer. The first outcome will be that my flow will not be interrupted because of the computer or the printer not working or running out of ink. The second outcome will be to have technical support easily available so I will not be spending precious writing time trying to figure out how to get the computer to do what I need it to do. The third outcome will be protecting this investment from wear and tear thereby extending its lifespan. I have done the research and concluded that the specific items I am requesting meet those goals. I will report back as to whether or not the computer and printer supported the flow of my writing by being easy to use and dependable. I will report back my experiences with the tech support plan. I will report back as to whether or not the protective accessories have protected the computer during the grant period. I will report back about my experiences with the printer and how it felt to not have to replace expensive ink cartridges and to reduce, arguably in a very small but nevertheless satisfying manner, my personal contributions to the landfills.
