You're right about those Toshiba's, man, they get so damn hot, they end up turning themselves off!

Most dell laptops have an application key next to the top, by the pause and 
print screen  buttons. All the latitudes I've owned and used do.
Also, again most dell laptops, and I've seen it on toshibas as well, if you hold the FN key (usually found on the bottom left corener, either before or 
after the controll key), the keys "7, 8, 9, 0, U, I, O, P, J, K, L,
semicolon (;), M, period (.) and slash (/)and " become a numPad.
I would personally recommend a business level laptop, like the latitude line 
of dells, the upper range pavillions from hp, gateway's business line, or
even toshiba's top model satellites. Beware with toshiba though, their lower 
level satellites, like those found a walmart and such have overheating
problems. I've repaired quite a few of those where the CPU and/or GPU needed 
a new coat of thermal compound.
But the business level have more connectivity options, are usually equipped 
with capabilities to be used overseas, and contain the better chipsets and
components, including video/graphics cards.
One last thing to beware of, some of the dell inspirons, and not sure if
others too, are starting to by default assign the f keys to regular laptop
functions like volume, turning on and off the various antennas etc. To be
able to use the f keys for windows purposes, you actually have to hold down the fn key, so it becomes a bit more conversum. I just prepared laptop for a customer, and it had this feature (or not), and I didn't look much, but not sure if they provide a setting to revert the keys to their original use, or 
if they flip it so you have to press the fn key to access the alternative
functions (as it normally is), but just beware.

HTH, D!J!X!

Hi,

Be aware that all laptops are diferent.

However, in laptops with no insert key, The Jaws Key usually  is the.

capslock.

The applications key,normaly is on the right of the space bar. maybe
the 2nd key.

About the. Home End. It's on the right of the laptop.
as i explain above, all laptops are diferent.

What you can do. try press the Jaws key. capslock. with zero qwerty.
As you probably know, it is the  keybord help of Jaws. then press
all keys and ere what they  do.

note: press again. capslock plus zero. to normal.

best regards,

Hello,
To those of you who have laptops can you tell me where would the jaws key
be? On desk tops it is zero on the number pad, but since most laptops

don't

have number pads, where would this key be? Can someone also tell me where
would the applications key be as well? How would someone using jaws right
click to download a file with no number pad? So I'm also asking where

would

the left and right mouse buttons be? Oh and what about the end and home
keys?

May the peace  of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and
mind in Christ Jesus. God bless you!
