Hi Mathew,
Sorry, my brain was not all there when I typed that Email earlier. I did
mean laptop vs. a netbook; not a notebook. Thank you for your advice, and
I'll keep your email if I have any questions.
Thank you again,
Ken

Hello Ken. a netbook is a perfect thing for what you want. It can still be
purchased with windows xp pre installed which is a big plus. They usually
come with a 1 gig or bigger processor and one gig of ram. it can usually
be updated also. The keys are smaller than that of a laptop but think they
have models closer to the laptop style. you can of course install jfw or
window eyes whichever you prefer. You can even get a USB keyboard for it.
I have a friend who has one that rolls up even. If you have any more
questions feel free to email me off list at [email protected]. It is
my other email address. I would also recommend that you go into a store
and look at netbooks to get a better feel. You can even start up narrator
like I did and get some kind of a better feel for it.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Laptops versis notebooks
Hello everyone,
My wife and I really need to get something we can use on the road. Need
something that has a good speech program for me, or something that I can
put JAWS on. Also need something that will hook up to the internet via
phone modem or Wi-Fi. A pretty good sized hard drive is kind of important
as well as a couple of gigs of ram.
I'm wondering what might be the best, a laptop or a notebook. I don't
know anything about notebooks. What is the interface; keyboard or touch
screen? Any thoughts you might have will help me out a lot.
Thanks everyone. I love this forum, you have helped me so much in the
past with questions I've had. I've also been really happy when I've been
able to help someone out with a question. This is a great family to be a
part of.
Ken
