Well, another major problem when purchasing a computer is the lack of
knowledge and understanding of the hardware and software by most of the
salesfolks.
It is extremely difficult to get an honest and meaningful answer from
those folks.
When you tell them that you can not have XP Pro or anything built around
that version of XP you have a reasonable expectation to have this taken
seriously.
I am concerned that it is going to be harder and harder to not have to
migrate to JAWS Pro.

Although this list is rightly focused on technology problems and
solutions,
I've noticed two opposing attitudes that color our approaches to these
issues: caveat emptor and caveat vendor, that is, buyer beware and
seller
beware. There's no question that we must do our homework before
obtaining
new systems and software. On the other hand, I find as a JAWS user that
I
need to know more about computers than my sighted friends do. As with
my
sighted friends, I'm torn between needing to know enough about computers
to
make them serve my purposes and having my computer take over my life.
In that light, while we're responsible for taking the steps we can to
ensure
that anything we do with our computers is compatible with JAWS, we must
hold
Freedom Scientific accountable for keeping us well informed about
compatibility issues and for maintaining JAWS's ability to handle
developments. If we do our part, we have a right to expect FS to do
theirs.
