MessageTo address the prtability issue and the extra keyboard, they sell these
rolling rubber keybards now that some people use for PDA's and such. I'm sure
they can be found with a usb port that will fit a laptop.

Just for an FYI:
I use a laptop, but attached a regular keyboard to it. This way I can keep
my fingers going in the same direction regardless if I am at work with my desk
top or at home with my laptop.
Of course it makes your laptop, a bit less portable, because you have to pick
up the machine and the keyboard.
Just another option, if you don't want to jump into learning new key strokes
right away.
Always,

Subject: JAWS 11 & Laptop Shopping / PC or Mac
Hi All: I have been using JAWS since 2.0 but always on a Desk Top PC with
Microsoft operating systems.
I'm contemplating adding a laptop and just reviewed the Freedom Scientific
site for guidance without success. Perhaps I missed some obvious resources at
the site but mostly I went around in circles. As an aside, they hide their
pricing as good as anybody it seems. <G>
On point, how difficult is the learning curve from PC to Laptop within
Windows based machines?
Also, does anyone operate both a Desk Top Windows PC and a Mac laptop?
If the best idea would be to stay with a Windows laptop, do I shop Cosco and
the like, Dell or what?
My needs do not stray much from using the Internet, e mail and basic word
processing.
Thanks for any help and, if this subject can possibly be off topic, you can
send reply's direct to:

Thanks again, Mitch
