Hi Patricia You should have Windows 7 64 bit. Jaws11 or higher is my recommendation. If your machine will have a real numpad, would be great. But then the machine of course is bigger. Often you find machines with a kind of virtual numpad; a key that switches a part of your normal keyboard to numpad or normal keys. Another way to go is to buy a separate numpad block. It's up to you to see what you prefer. It depends, if you want to work while in a train or plain or sitted at a normal table.

I would need to have off course, Jaws and Sibelius with SibAccess. Could someone tell me what are the specifications I should consider to ensure that Jaws and Sibelius with SibAccess can run smoothly on a netbook?
