Hi John. Didn't the moderator say this thread was closed? All the best, Ibrahim.----- Original Message ----- From: "john gallagher" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, November 09, 2009 9:32 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Genuin Windows Validation continued.hi listandy this is very sad but i personally would never purchase a secon hand computer now as if you look at the computer mags from tnauk the price of new computers has droped to such a digree now it is really amazing. i do see though that the advantage for a blind person is that the computer should be up and running with screen reader software on it. i have not followed this thread from the start but is'nt there a phone number you can ring from disability now or whatever and a volunteer will come out to help you. hope you get it sorted out though there is nothing worse than this happening to you. i am very lucky to be in employment piano tuning so i can afford new things rather than second hand. i do know that steve nutt and terry clasper offer a remote service but you do need your screen reader on your machine for it to work i think.hth. ----- source message ----- from: "Carol Pearson" <carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> to: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> date: 2009/11/08 23:48:21 subject: [access-uk] Re: Genuin Windows Validation continued.Andy, I received a Mountbatten from someone on one of the reseller lists for the blind once and couldn't get a peep out of it. I ended up throwing it out and just bearing the loss, so I do know how you feel ...
