Hi Eleanor
Thanks for your thoughts, I looked at the website you gave
me, they have some very good offers, mostly vista
unfortunately. It's just unfortunate that xp is still
available but at a much higher price. I was offered a
package with vista down gradable to xp but the company won't
ship to France which for me is a bit of a problem. I could
get it shipped to a uk address no problem but it's getting
the laptop shipped over here. This could work out very
expensive.
I use hal and unfortunately avg is not very accessible. I am
looking at single programs, I'll see how it goes. I have no
vision apart from light and dark so I can't see the screen
at all.
Regards
Adrien

I bought a new laptop recently and do not like Vista. I
bought from a
company on-line and bought a Hp for just over £500.00. It
had Windows Vista
but came with a downgrade CD to XP Pro. I am very pleased
with the laptop.
Only thing is you have to do the whole thing from scratch so
to speak if you
install XP Pro. I use AVG 8.0 Free but then I have some
vision and no
problem. I think Jaws was to make AVG 8.0 Free accessible
but I am not a
Jaws user. I know a lot of visually impaired people who use
Avast once it
is configured to be fairly accessible.
