Rose,
You might want to take a look at tiger direct.
Also, Circuit City helped me find XP Home on a computer we purchased as
most of the computers came with Media Center. Don't forget Wal-Mart,
they may well have some computers on hand with XP Home. Cy, the Ancient
Okie..

Yes, I have to get a new desktop computer, mine bit the dust on Monday,
and it appears that finding one that does not have Vista is going to be
the problem. For the moment I am on the slow laptop with a regular
keyboard hooked up and most of my files in limbo somewhere, supposedly
had a backup but not anxious to overload the dinosaur.
\I listened to the podcast FS had and it sounds promising, just hope I
can survive until our updates are ready.

Yep, Rick, what I think Eric meant was that you'd have Vista support,
but only when they get around to it. I guess they figure that most
people won't be running Vista on the day it's released, and in some
cases they're right. But what about those who choose to get really brave
and install Vista on their machines? You'd better have a copy of one of
the other screenreaders at your dissposal or you're kinda S,O, L. I
think JAWS is a great screenreader, but I'm just disappointed that FS
wasn't ready. they dropped the ball.
