Welcome to the newly moved access-uk list. NOTE: Leaving instructions, etc., are at the very end of this message. The simple answer is no, there would be no advantage to paying extra for the pro version. I bought the pro version in order to better network my computers. If I had only hte one pc, I would deffinately have gone for the home version.

NOTE: Leaving instructions, etc., are at the very end of this message. 9 June 2004 Hi Listers I am about to purchase a new PC with a 3GHz Processor and 1GB of RAM and running Windows XP. I will be using Dolphin's HAL v6.01 as my Screen Reader. Unless I specify otherwise the OS will be XP Home. My main applications will be Microsoft Office Professional and E-Mail using a Dial Up Network initially but moving to Broadband (ADSL) in a few months time. The PC will be used at Home and I do not foresee having it networked with any other machine in the foreseeable future. In the circumstances just described, would there be any benefit (and if so what?) in my paying the extra for XP Pro?
