Hi, Erin,
As far as Jaws, I don't think it'll work with a Mac computer. The Mac has
its own screen reader built in called voiceover. I'm not sure how many megs
of ram you'll need to do the things you like to do on a laptop. On my
desktop I have 512 megs of ram and that's enough for what I like to do.
Hope this helps. Good luck on getting a new laptop.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Requesting assistance on information for getting
a new laptop.
Hello,
My name is Erin, and I'm new to the group.
I use Jaws 10 and 11 standard.
I am going tomorrow to get a new laptop.
I've been told that I either have to get seven or a mac. I don't know if
jaws works with either one of them. And if it does do I need jaws
standard
or pro.
Also, I saw there were three different versions of seven, and I don't
know
what the differences are.
I like to do several things on my computer. Burn and rip cd's, download
music, convert things with GoldWave, join things together, play games and
much more.
I also love to go to chatroom sites and play yahtzy. right now people
can't hear me using my vista laptop. I've been told it's because of my
sound card. However I've tried both speakers and external sound cards.
People still can't hear jaws.
As I said I'm getting a new laptop, and I'm looking for input.
Things like, the size of the harddrive, how much ram, 32 or 64 bit,
operating system, microsoft verses mac, sound card, what version of jaws,
and everything, and anything else, people can advise me with more
information.
i'm going in the morning, sorry for such short notice, but it suddenly
came up.
Thanks for all the help you all can give me.
Erin
