If you can show me, in your response to the thread in question, just
where it relates to JFW, then I'll be happy to hear your point. But
neither your response, nor the one before that, has any direct
relation to JFW whatsoever. In fact, you appear more concerned with
whether or not a laptop would be better in a given situation.
Therefore, I say again, not by any stretch of the imagination.

And by what stretch of the imagination is the selection of a particular type or model of computer not JFW related? There are models and manufacturers that do indeed run Jaws better than others.

Okay, this is definitely not JFW related by any stretch of the imagination. Thank my email server for making me wait until now to get these messages. Take the discussion off-list, please.

Lap tops get a lot of ware and tair using them as a main system. If you are going to get a laptop you should also have a desktop. You will extend the life of your laptop by doing this. Hth

Heidi,
Sorry if I'm duplicating other info; I see you have 27 messages already!!!
Before you concentrate on make and model, I'd really suggest you think hard about whether you want a desktop or a laptop. That decision is much more important to your future use of the pc than which brand you settle on.
I want to argue strongly for a laptop. Whatever brand you choose, it's portable, you can get wifi card with it, and a wireless internet setup at home, and take it anywhere that's convenient. Not just home, but if you need to go work at a friends house, in the car while waiting on someone, etc., a laptop is just great.
They've improved steadily so that all their capabilities are quite comparable to desktop pcs these days.
If you get convinced to buy a particular brand, as I did, it's almost certain that they make a laptop as well as a desktop.
If you decide on a laptop, and want to talk more about the fine points of what to buy, perhaps starting a separate thread on laptops would be best.
