Dorothy and all, No, I didn't use Lenovo although you're right that it belongs to a Chinese company but it works as an IBM Laptop. I heard good things about it but again, never tried it. I have a desktop PC but saw and used Sonny Laptop, for a month or so and it worked fine. One of the problems of Laptops is that their keyboard is limited, not full one - I mean without the numeric keypad that is much necessary for the Jaws commands. And the solution is to add a small numeric keypad. So it's the picture as I see and really don't have enough experience with Laptops but heard good things about Dell and Toshiba.

I think the company was bought by the Chinese but I am not sure, in Dollars it was not expensive, but in Uk sterling it was. I got good service and packing I do not know what the computers cost here incidentally I think Lenovo was once IBM, but I may have got that back to front. Is it Chinese? My friend says he is going to try a Toshiba if he does and that is no goodI think he needs some lessons, he is, in fact sighted he is a retired solicitor, and knew how to argue to get his money back but when in practise he did not ever use a computer. If you have tried the Models Moti were you happy with them?
