Short Answer:

Nearly any Windows PC computers with a Sound Card made since 1998 will run our programs.  Our programs will also run on computers as old as 1995. 

Computer geeks will be interested in the detailed computer requirements:

Detailed Answer

• PC with Windows 95  or higher.

  That means Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, or Vista. 
  If your computer has a Start button in the lower left comer, you've got one of those versions.  If your computer has enough power to run Windows 95 it has enough memory and speed to run our programs. Have a Macintosh computer?  There are several options for your Macintosh.

• Sound Card

  If  your PC ever plays music (even  just at start up) it has a sound card.  If it has external speakers, it probably has a sound card.  Speakers plug into the sound card.

• Microphone

  These are not expensive. We sell them for $9.50.

• Display  (sometimes called Screen or Monitor)

  256 color display (sometimes called "8 bit" color display).  We have not seen a modern computer without this display since the year 2000.

• 20 MB Hard Drive space per program.

  Most computers 5 years old old or newer have  1000 to 20,000 MB Hard Drives.

Who can Bungalow help?

Bungalow programs are designed, by a speech-pathologist, specifically for those with language or cognitive deficits, usually caused by a brain injury (such as a stroke or head injury).  Many of the programs are designed specifically for those with aphasia.  

Anyone seeking to improve their language comprehension and reading skills can benefit from  Bungalow products.  Our customers have found that, while there is plenty of general educational software (of fair quality)  for young children, there is very little  software that is age-appropriate for head-injured adults or young adults.
