I am in need of a computer,monitor,keyboard,mouse,and speakers to finish my online transcription course. My cd rom drive no longer works and I need that to open my lessons using the lesson's cd. I took the course to get a better paying job,scraped to pay for my schooling and now this happens. There isn't enough money to purchase a computer,as my husband is on a fixed income. He is on hospice with a terminal illness. I work part time outside the home,and a part time income isn't enough to buy a new computer,not even a used one. I have always worked two jobs most of my life,but now I am my husbands caregiver and can only work part time. Does anyone know where I can get a free computer? Are there any organizations that give out free computers for those in need? Thanks for your help~

If your CDROM no longer works, why don't you just ask around for a free CDROM drive?
I don't know where you live, but maybe there's a place in your city where you can post an ad, asking for an old CDROM drive for free.
Since you only need a CDROM drive (not a DVD one), then you should be able to find one easily enough.
You can get directions on installing the CDROM at the manufacturer's web site, or if you can't get help there, ask here.
Good luck.
