Hello David and Friends,
I still have my Gateway Windows 98 First Edition set up and loaded with JAWS 5.0 I ran JAWS 3.3, and indeed 3.7 was great, 4 was horrible, but 4.5 and version 5 was great also!

Never had a problem with any of the JAWS versions except JAWS 4.0,
So even way back then, HJ or Freedom Scientific made mistakes!

Yes, the Windows 98 machine is still working like it did the day I took it out of the carton back in February 1999.

I just fired it up today, because I am going to put Office 2007 on my Dell XP-Home, and if I get sick of trying to learn those stupid Ribbons, I can kick on my 98 machine and do some work with the Word 2000 that is on the machine!
LOL!

With Best Regards,

thanks for the feedback. Jaws 3.7.1 used to be my favorite version
for several years. *smile*

Eventually this laptop might go to a new home but I'll enjoy getting
it ready for that. <g>

Thanks bunches.

Doris

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Wich jaws version for Old laptop?

we have an old laptop here running win 95 A on a 100 mhz cpu wiht 40 megs
of
RAM.

We bought that laptop before i lost my sight and I did use it with speech
once upon a time. However, I do not remember what jaws version I used at
the
time.

Does anyone know the system requirements of the jaws 3.x generation still?
I
have a hardware synthesizer I can use and the first version of jaws I used
was 3.0.

I found that jaws 3.7.x worked best with win 9x at the time but am
wondering
if the above laptop would  be good enough to run jaws 3.7U or 3.7.1.

Any recommendation is much appreciated.

Thanks much,

Doris
