Just want to comment on using JAWS with laptops.
I'm running JAWS 8.0.423 demo here on a Toshiba laptop running XP Home
SP2 and JAWS works flawlessly. I also know that JAWS works flawlessly on
a friend's HP laptop, HP Presario to be precise, also running the same
demo version of JAWS and the same operating system.
Hope this helps.
