Went to buy a new pc last week but discovered in the nick of time the one I had chosen had a 64byt operating system, am I correct in thinking no screen reader will currently work with this system? The strange and frightening thing is I didn't think to ask, nor did the sales person inform me, it was pure chance I decided to ask a techie person who I know. best wishes Alistair
