HI Kerry. Gateway and JAWS get along wonderfully. I can say the same for Sony and even Acer. You're right about Toshiba. it's pretty temperamental with JAWS in my experience also. Of course, Dells handle JAWS reasonably well, but not as well in my experience as some other brands. When I had my dell, I had to put JAWS in the startup group in order to get it to read properly when it automatically starts. If I had it just run first, it would not read menus on a Dell, and it certainly would not read the login screen because it wasn't running to read it. I don't know what the newer Dells are like now, but if they still use the Radion video, there may still be some problems.
