Hi,
To all and thanks to Chip, but I am finding an issueto consider when buying
a laptop.
I have looked at a number of laptops.
I am finding from word of mouth that one cannot assume that using an
external numpad will work with JAWS or with MAGIC.
That is because sighted folks to whom most external numpads are sold to not
use the combination of Insert keys (for JAWS) or the numpad + or -
combinations (for MAGIC). Hence
the reliability of numpad usage for our needs is iffy.
Do you know of any numpad that works with Toshiba, or SONY or
Dell or does one have to buy proprietary external numpads?
Thanks in advance.

The only one I can think of is what OS it comes with? If it's media
edition or professional edition, you'll have to pay for the professional
edition of JFW (a *completely* unnecessary fee on the part of FS, and
not one charged by other competators).
You may want to insure you buy 1gb of RAM if you're going to use a
software speech synthesizer. There's very little else I can think of
that matters to JFW.
HTH,
Chip
