Hi,If you want a fast light-weight laptop Fujitsu has one for $1,200 and you can get X P Homeand avoid Media Center and Vista. The keyboard has aslight slant and the keys are well placed. Also thjey have Canadians giving 24/ 7 free technical support forthel ife ofthe computer.
In case peopleare wondering, I solved my Adobe dilemma by using an earlier version. The Adobe site offers several competing versions and I hope some daythat some one there puts the direct accessibilty link "back" leading to the best choices rather than to all options for software. Getting the right ADobe has been the toughest thing matching software with the laptop.
Finally, I put adhesive rubber pads on a full sized keyboard with a ridge on the back so the keyboard does not slip or scratch the Fujitsu. Itstays in place.
I thought these ideas might help. 1 800 8 fujitsu.

For the moment I am on the slow laptop with a regular keyboard hooked up and most of my files in limbo somewhere, supposedly had a backup but not anxious to overload the dinosaur. \I listened to the podcast FS had and it sounds promising, just hope I can survive until our updates are ready.

Yep, Rick, what I think Eric meant was that you'd have Vista support, butonly when they get around to it. I guess they figure that most people won't be running Vista on the day it's released, and in some cases they're right.But what about those who choose to get really brave and install Vista ontheir machines? You'd better have a copy of one of the other screenreadersat your dissposal or you're kinda S,O, L. I think JAWS is a great screenreader, but I'm just disappointed that FS wasn't ready. they dropped the ball.

Did I misunderstand FS here.Looked out on the website anddidn't find any mention at all. I guess thatis why FS refused to go on ACBradio main menu tonight with Jeff bishopbecause they have no product forvista.

To my knowledge, the onlyscreenreaders that officiallysupport Vista are Window-eyes, Hal, and Idunno if you'd even countthis as a an official screenreader, butFreedom Box System Access isalso supported under Vista. It's too badthat FS appears to havedropped the ball on this one. If you're a JAWS user and you want Vista,you're screwed.At 03:09 PM 1/30/2007, you wrote:Good point yes.Peter ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert S.Batchelor"<leehigh73@xxxxxxxxxxx To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 1:11 PM Subject: RE: Vista!NONE, until you check out in depth thehardware requirements for VISTA...you might need to update some of yourhardware---------------------------------------------------------------------Eliminate annoying spam!My mailbox is protected by iHateSpam, the#1-rated spam buster.http://www.ihatespam.net-----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx[mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On BehalfOf thomas williams Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 5:06 AM To: Jfw@Freelists.
