Hello Russ,
I am writing this on a Netbook made by Asus, loaded with Win XP Home, JAWS
7.1 (I know, I know) and IE7 (a downgrade from the IE8 that was loaded on
the machine at time of purchase).
My experience has been mixed. I have a problem with the machine rebooting
without warning when using either OE or IE. Other applications, including
Goldwave and Skype 4.1 work fine.
I am reluctant to return this computer to Best Buy, as it took me quite a
lot of effort to get JAWS installed/authorized and to set up other
applications. Plus, I already have personal data stored in the 160 Gb hard
disk. Best Buy would probably want to exchange the netbook rather than
repair it and solve the problem.
Netbooks in general seem to run very hot after awhile; this is not only my
experience with this particular unit, but has also been experienced by
colleagues who also use netbook computers.
HTH. Sorry if this reply doesn't conform to list rules....it is less about
JAWS and more about hardware.
Thanks,
Paul Shallbetter

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws working with netbooks
Hi everyone,
I didn't see this e-mail posted to the list, probably because I sent it
incorrectly, so I am trying again.
I am going to be purchasing a netbook when Windows 7 is released. If you
have had any experiences with netbooks would you please reply. Would you
also let me know about anything you might have done to help Jaws work more
efficiently if there were issues.
Thanks,
Russ
