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.

Yes, I have to get a new desktop computer, mine bit the dust on Monday, and
it appears that finding one that does not have Vista is going to be the
problem.  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, but
only 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 on
their machines? You'd better have a copy of one of the other screenreaders
at 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.

Chris, Rick and list,
If someone is brave enough, then that person can buy a version of Vista
(hopefully Ultimate) and see if JAWS 7.0 and above are supported (or if
8.0 does work with AERO interface).
Cheers,
Joseph

Hi Chris,

I thought Eric Dammery promised Vista support
on launch day when 8.0 was
released?  Did I misunderstand FS here.
Looked out on the website and
didn't find any mention at all.  I guess that
is why FS refused to go on ACB
radio main menu tonight with Jeff bishop
because they have no product for
vista.  Congrats to the other readers that
got it right and support Vista
today and not whenever they feel like it.

Rick

As far as I know, JAWS is not officially
supported under Windows
Vista.  To my knowledge, the  only
screenreaders that officially
support Vista are Window-eyes, Hal, and I
dunno if you'd even count
this as a an official screenreader, but
Freedom Box System Access is
also supported under Vista.  It's too bad
that FS appears to have
dropped the ball on this one.
If you're a JAWS user and you want Vista,
you're screwed.

NONE, until you check out in depth the
hardware requirements for VISTA...
you might need to update some of your
hardware
