Re: jaws 11 and net books

Hi,

May I ask why netbooks with Atom processors should be avoided?  My Asus 1015 
EEE  PC netbook has an Atom and it seems to work just fine.

thanks.

Like other persons in this list have already stated. Look for one without crap 
software. If your options are limited, go with one that 1 have a confortable 
keyboard to type. That includes all the keys you want. 2 Try to get one wiout 
crap software like hp media, hp security, sony disk whatever. The less software 
instal on it, the better. and 3, try to look for one with at least a 2GB  ram 
and an intel procesor. AMD is great, but they eat your battery like there is no 
tomorrow.

any suggestions on wich net books to look for,
i was looking at a toshiba cause it has the home key end page up and down.
But I was going to try to install jaws on there demo to test it.
By the way any suggestions on how to get jaws on it.
I don't have experience with a thumb drive.
so i thought put jaws on it then uninstall it.
Thanks
Carlos

      On a netbook you have to use the function key and arrow key and some 
other combination get the page up, page down, and others like that.  Also you 
will have to set jaws to a laptop keyboard.  It is a learning curve.

    Hi list,
    My name is Carlos I am new to the list.
    I use to post once in a while years ago.
    Well I just bought a net book.
    my sighted friend hlped me buy it.
    Its an hp net book from best buy.
    Since I never had a net book i did not know what to look for.
    The first thing was that when the computer was turnd on it did not go in to 
windows right away instead showing some hp media thing.
    I prbably could not hae figuered ou what was going on if not for my sighted 
friend setting it up.o
    then i found the insert but worked as a print screen first and as an insert 
only in conjction of pressing the function ke.
    Thats not good with jaws.
    Now i just have fond out it doesn
    have a home page up page down or end key.
    I took it to best buy and they are goig to let me exchange it for another 
on i have had it for mor thann a month so they are making an exception to there 
rulesbecause the naure of the situation.
    if any one has had prolems with net books like this or has any suggestions 
on specific brands like please let me know.Its a nice netbook but i don't think 
i could get uso not having a home key or page upor page dow or end.
    thanks for any help.
    The sales person in best buy suggested toshiba net books but i don't know.
    Thaks
    Carlos
