Dale They haven't a cd player, so you have to attach one separately to install software.

Patricia and All, Aren't NetBooks somewhat made to be incapable of receiving installation of one's own software? I thought part of their portability and so forth was that they are equipped for surfing the internet, perhaps word processing, etc., but that they would not necessarily have the versatility of a laptop. If I'm wrong, I will accept enlightening. <smile> -----Original Message----- From: sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Claudio Sacco Sent: Friday, August 19, 2011 11:43 AM To: sib-access@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sib-access] Re: Netbook for using Jaws, SibAccess and Sibelius. 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?
