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.
