Hi Ray I really did appreciate your comments. I am sticking with Jaws and Dell are building me a laptop to my specifications. I am asking for xP Home with the capability of using Vista HP later on as I've been advised that Home basic is pretty rubbish. I will be leaving the JawsAholics list but have some information that somebody sent me it is too technical for me so will post it there. I have reached the conclusion that, whichever screen-reader one uses, it is a good idea to learn as much as possible to make the computer as fast and enjoyable to use as possible.
