Hello Kasondra, On the Jaws, I think you are right that XP professional and Win2k both need the upgrade. I got the upgrade through work because we were using 2000 and now XP.

Wow, Kaitlyn, that computer sounds great! I am using an 1150, but I think they discontinued it shortly after I bought it. It's a regular laptop, but it does a great job. I was looking through your description and noticed it mentioned XP professional. I think that requires a slightly different version of Jaws which is more expensive. I remember reading that somewhere. I don't know if that's the screen reader you use. I have XP home edition, and it is just fine for my needs. Just some thoughts. Kasondra Payne -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
