There is no reason not to use jaws 5.0 on that machine. Being a laptop I suppose you can't upgrade the ram which is in a way to bad but 128 is plenty to run win98. I just say it's to bad because the more ram, the better windows runns. I wouldn't really recommend upgrading operating systems because machines tend to work best with the version of windows they came with. However, if you did decide later to upgrade later to winxp, it will run fine. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
