Hello,
I currently have a toshiba laptop running XP but its about 6 to 6.5
years old or so.
I can tell soon I need to make a change either to windows 7 or Mac.
It recently had a major crash and had to be revived and is now a bit sluggish.
I have been a windows user since windows 95 or 98 and am using jaws.
I have also used K1000 and an opticbook 3600 scanner.
What advice do you have as I switch and what spec recommendations.
I was thinking a Macbook pro?
Will I need to keep jaws and run it with fusion or boot camp or can I
do what I need only on the Mac?
if I did run windows 7 and learned it would I still need jaws for the
screen reader?
What applications are recommended for doing the below task?
I have been listening to pod cast like Tech doctor, mac-cessibility
and others trying to learn.
I multi task a lot and use MS office with word, eccel and outlook.
I want to be able to work with mp3 files, word processing, making
forms in a word processor or in a spreadsheet, manage files, download
files, read pdf files, email, navegate the web, listen to podcast,
create flyers for my work, research on the net, manage files and add
to my victor stream, manage audible files, add files to a mp3 player,
work with my IPhone 4, Itunes, add bookshare daisey books to my
victor stream, work with music, learn to make presentations, work
with jpg files and photos to rename and label and so on....
I am a massage therapist and made my own intake form in word and keep
records on my computer.
I also use eccell for record keeping, budgeting, and tracking income
and expenses... I use to use a schedule I created in eccel but now
since having an IPhone 4 use outlook for my contacts and calendar.
I use eudora paid version for email.
Will I still need jaws to do any of the above or could I sell it to
help me finance a new Macbook pro?
Will I still use K1000 in windows 7 along side mac's OS?
I have a Kindle and also use audible and am not volunteering as much
on bookshare lately.
Thanks for advice, websites, and information to help me make a solid
decision and if I change to help me transition as smoothly as possible.
