This website was designed for the homeless.

Do you think a homeless person would be able to lug around a laptop with wireless modem and check websites?

 

Sounds like the requirement for brail at drive up ATMs. Someone wasn't thinking, or politicians needing to spend their money because it was there.

I agree with the intent of the post and I'm not trying to be a "wet noodle" but here in Austin we have a huge homeless population and I'll bet a lot of them are aware of the free internet access in all the public libraries.
I noticed a bunch of homeless teens near work today with the usual sign. Every one had body piercings all over the face and tatoos. Why should I give them money if they are going to spend it on such things.
I like my dad's answer. He gives them a sandwich from his lunchbox!

 

True, I've heard of this before and the public Internet access @ the library is the target their aiming for...
