The other thing is compatibility and lack of Windows dialogs. You can have
jaws on windows with a display on a netbook, but it cannot beat the ease of
use of keysoft. You always know what to expect in keysoft, and you know that
if you ever get stuck, help is just a keystroke, or a twenty second reset,
away. Netbooks can take a while to boot up and, though you can run third
party programs on them, you never know if those programs will work with jaws
or your display until you try them. Finally, you do not get the native
Braille support offered by a Braille notetaker; you have the display, but
you cannot write in Braille on the netbook or quickly use thumb keys or a
scroll wheel to navigate the computer or a document, and you cannot write in
contracted braille or use .brf files at all, unless you get Duxbury.
Have a great day,
Alex

Subject: [Braillenote] Net books
Hi guys,
This may sound like a silly queswtion but keep in mind that I am not
particularly technical.
It seems to me that a person could get a net book/note pad with a screen
reader for a fraction of the price of a Braille note. Other than the
braille issue, what am I missing?
