As a suggestion, go to your computer store and tell them that you *have* to
have XP Home otherwise your screen reader will not work.
Most dealers can put an OEM version of XP Home on your machine without any
problem. If this fails give my dealer, Nanopac a call at (918) 665-0329.
I just got a Del with XP Home installed.
Also, take a look at Wal-Mart, they usually carry a Toshiba which has XP
Home on it.
Remember that you do not need the most current, most powerful or largest
laptop to do what the vast majority of us normally do.
Anything which approaches 2 ghz for speed will be sufficient. It does,
however in my opinion, need a meg of RAM.
