Hallo this is Dorothy Brian Lingard does not seem to be around at the moment but before Health circumstances put a bit of a limit onto his movements he dragged his old laptop from train to train and to one Hotel after another both in Canada and in America , he actually downloaded one version of Jaws in his Hotel bedroom, by plugging into his bedside light asking the Hotel Porter for a bit of a hand, he listened to books on trains as well and this was an old laptop several years old I am sure he will confirm this. He is thinking now about updating his laptop.Regards Dorothy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barbara Wilson" <barkingbabs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Paul
Maybe I'm stating the obvious here, but remember you can only gain access to Email when away from home if you are within a wireless network to which you have access.

Hi Paul.

There are a few things to consider here.
firstly, you can do all the things on a laptop you can do on a desktop. You would be able to get a laptop with Windows XP but Microsoft will stop issuing licenses for XP after the end of June (it could be July, I don't quite remember but others here or the microsoft website will tell you.
JAWS 5 will work on Windows XP but I would want to upgrade it if you can afford it as this version really is now getting seriously long in the tooth. Once you have sorted how you will connect to the internet while away you can set up email so it only deletes messages you put in the Deleted Items folder which is where they go by default when you delete them. 

Cheers

Graham

Subject: [jaws-uk] buying a laptop



Hi all,

For some time now, I have thought about maybe buying myself a laptop and
installing JAWS onto it.
To be honest, the only real reason for doing this is so that when I amaway for long weekends, I can still catch up with E-mails so that I don't have to 
do it when I return home.
I don't usually have long holidays.
on my desktop, I currently have windows ME and am running JAWS version 5.
If I was to purchase a laptop then it would presumably come with XP. This is not necessarily a problem but I would want to access my E-mails and so 
would I be able to do this through a laptop whilst away from home.
Also I might wish to read magazines as sent by the RNIB whilst on a train 
journey so as not to cary bulky Braille items with me.

I guess the only other thing I might want to do is listen to theradio
stations on-line although I gather this last point might be rather dificult 
and in some instances, impossible.

If anyone can give me any advice on this and also a rough idea of prices
then that would be brilliant.

You can either reply to the list or directly to my E-mail address if you
wish.

Thanks for reading.

Regards

Paul.
