Hi, Sharlene and Ellen.

Ellen, you're absolutely right.  Sharlene, get thee to a store such as Best
Buy and literally feel up the laptops they're offering.

And, yes, there are many tutorials on Windows 7.  I'll gladly point you to
some.

I use windows 7 in its basic form and it's ok.  JAWS takes a bit of time to
start up but that seems standard.  Even the JAWS on our Windows 7 NetBook at
CCVIP takes some time to start up.  Brew some coffee while you're waiting.

I think the biggest thing to get used to will be the new Start menu, where
you can search and which has two panes.  They might indeed be a pain at
first but they really are quite convenient.  I'll send a brief audio
tutorial through the list upon our return from my mom's.

 

More to come and enjoy your day.

Lynne

Hi Sharlene,

I purchased  my net book from Buy.com. I get daily lists from them and
usually they include several net books. I would be happy to send the one
that comes tomorrow if it contains interesting options.

Also, I bought a Gateway lap top from Best Buy--It was impossible to order
the laptop directly from Bestbuy--but it certainly has a full key board
My reader should be here later today, I will try and remember to ask her to
check the model munber. I think it would be worth it to go to one of the
many Bestbuy stores to check things out!

As for Windows 7...I would be thrilled to learn the intricacies of windows 7
myself!
Ellen

Hi everyone!
 
My netbook is dying!  weep!  
 
Has anyone purchased a new laptop or netbook lately?  I am interested in a
full keyboard, loud sound, and alt and control keys on both sides.  Also,
does anyone know if there is a good tutorial (not just a manual) on windows
7?  I guess I will need to learn a new Email since outlook express won't
work.  Finally, are we meeting at the end of June or in July?
 
If you are kind enough to answer these questions, keep in mind that I am
neither a great computer user nor a great student.  Simple is my friend.
 
Any comments or advice will be  greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks much.
Sharlene
