Hi all. I'm thinking about upgrading to a new refurbished desktop computer running Windows 7 Pro. I've provided a link listing many choices and am wondering which one will work with the programs I currently use and which versions; I use Jaws 9.0 because of its advantages with braille display functionality in certain applications. One drawback with a higher version of Jaws is in the configuration manager, shift+control+d doesn't take me to the defaults, but opens up the My Documents folder, since that is the shortcut key command I made for it. I heard that the new Blindtunes scripts only work with Jaws 15 or higher. Will one of these computers be compatible with Jaws 9, 11 or 112, or should I purchase an upgrade to a higher version? What versions of MSWord, Firefox, Duxbury, Internet Explorer, Winamp, Adobe Reader/Flash, Windows Media Player, VLC, itunes/blindtunes will work on a Win7 Pro system? I'm currently using Word 2003 and DBT 10.7, but will these work on the new system? If the answer to any of the above is "yes", I'd like to know what size hard drive and memory, and microprocessor speed, 32- or 64-bit, are required. Also I need a computer with enough USB ports for my Focus 80 display, Deskjet printer, parellel port for Juliet embosser, etc. Please advise the cost of a computer that will work with all of the above applications and/or any necessary updates. Thanks for your help checking out these computers and finding the least expensive brand and/or one that will be most compatible with all my favorite apps.
