Hi George,
You're allowed to connect in the library with XP Home, and I think the
residents as well. I think the network set up at the library is separate from
the main network.

Hi Ari,
Are you likely to want to connect into the University's systems, even if only
to get access to the Internet? If so, it may be worth having a word with the
Uni before you get your laptop. Most will not allow XP or Vista Home systems
access.
George.

Subject: [access-uk] Which Office and Vista with JAWS?
Hi guys,
Just a few questions here, I'm getting a laptop and have JAWS 8 for uni, so
bear in mind that, when giving me advice about the office suite, I'll need to
use it for, not just writing assignments, but formatting the documents,
inserting tables, maybe even a little spreadsheet work, but mainly the word
processor.
First, the laptop comes with Windows Vista Home Basic, how usable is this
with JAWS, I read somewhere that JAWS has many problems with Vista, is this
true?
Second, where can I find something, which I can read/listen to, which will
explain to me how Vista will be different to XP, which I am using now, and how
to use Vista effectively?
Third, since the laptop will cost quite a bit, I'm not sure if I can buy
Office right away, I'm thinking of using Openoffice or something in the
meantime, will that work with JFW? (can't test it myself, as this computer
isn't mine)
Fourth, the only Office on sale now is Office 2007, where can I read
something on how to use Word 2007 with JAWS, and, overall, how good does Word
2007 perform with JFW, or should I try and find a copy of Office 2003 from
somewhere else instead?
Thanks
Ari
