Thanks a lot. I'll try this another time. Just curious that was all what it was like compared to JAWS or NVDA. I've played with Satogo and it's not as responsive as JAWS or NVDA, but I expect that since it's over the internet.

I have heard so much bad press and reviews from former users. With System Access you can license any two machines of your choice and can reset the license at your leisure and the tech support is great as they talk to you as if your a human being and will spend hours solving your issues if required. A fair few users have already made the switch and reported good reviews to the System Access users forom. ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Bell" <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, December 21, 2008 2:37 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Buying new laptop help pleaseI don't see what's unclear. Contact any JAWS dealer and they will tell you that if you have JAWS Standard, you must first work out the cost to bring it up to the latest version of JAWS standard, and then add £153.75 which is the cost of converting from JAWS 10 Standard to JAWS 10 Professional.

FS don't make clear an upgrade path from JAWS standard to professional so I think people are stuck with buying a new license. If there is such a path, FS should make it a lot clearer IMO, but I don't want to go off on a rant.

You can still get machines running XP, but the majority of High Street shops only appear to offer Vista. I've got both running on a desktop and laptop respectively, and while there are a few things I'm not so keen on with Vista, it certainly does the job and is perfectly accessible with screen readers. I've got an Epson Perfection 1240U scanner and Samsung ML2150 printer, and both run perfectly under Vista, and are probably classed as "ancient" by today's climate. They've both served me so well for years that I haven't wanted to upgrade either. JAWS Standard will work on Vista Basic and Vista Home Premium, as well as XP Home. JAWS Professional is required to run on Vista Business, Ultimate or Premium, and XP Professional. I'd have to check the upgrade price from JAWS Standard to JAWS Professional for you as I can't remember it offhand. You can run MS Office under Vista too. I've got 2003 Professional, and it's fine. As regards make and model of laptop purchase, I would simply recommend keeping away from the very bottom of the range, simply because graphics tend to be integrated, and RAM is less. I've had my HP laptop with Vista Home Premium for almost 18 months, and I'm still very pleased with it, even if it is big and has a numeric keypad. I bought it from Comet, but just because it was the spec I wanted at the time and Comet happened to be the place! I'm sure everyone will have a good website or place to recommend. Good luck.

I wonder if people could help me with a few questions. I'm on my Braillenote with dialup at the moment so can't do much research, but I can use e-mail. Firstly, is it still possible to buy anything with Windows XP on it and is there any logical reason why I would want to? Are there hardware compatibility issues with Vista? I have an Epson Perfection 1650 scanner and an HP Deskjet 460 printer and would really rather not have to buy new ones. I assume only JAWS Pro will work on Vista? I'm pretty sure I have JAWS pro and not the other one but how can I find out? It doesn't say in braille on the CD case--will it say in print? And if it's not the professional edition how much is buying the professional edition going to set me back? Can MS Office 2003 be installed on Vista? I also use Replay AV recording software. If anyone here uses it do you know if they have a version for Vista? Does anyone recommend any particular makes or models? And if so why? Regarding shops, I know people hate PC world and I certainly don't rate them myself. But I need to get a new laptop ASAP and there's a PC World in my town with long opening hours. If I know exactly what I want to buy before I go in there is there any reason to avoid PC World? Do people recommend any other particular shops which have stores nationwide (if you're feeling particularly kind you could tell me whether they have a shop near Colchester, Chelmsford, Ipswich or Norwich). anything people think I need to think about I haven't already mentioned? I plan to use the computer for average wordprocessing, spreadsheets, browsing, k1000 and a bit of stream capturing and sound editing.
