yes I can understand that, of course when I typed I had sight even if I touch
typed. the rattle has gone thank heavens,but as to the spell checker! I asked
the engineer to see why it was offering alternatives that could not possibly be
correct, it could be playing a trick on me ,yours makes you an "ace mine an
Ass! something is not right in the state of denmark, perhaps it isoffering
another language, but not one I can guess at,believe me it is not either
american or Uk english dorothy

Amen on the spell checker. The technology of the last 25 years makes me look
like an ace, because, and only because, I spell check religiously. Being able
to proofread, to be called away and not need to have someone tell me where I
left off, to compose without worrying about bottom of page margins, or how much
room I have for a footnote, after all these years these little things are still
the greatest things since sliced bread. For 23 years I typed without seeing a
thing, so I really appreciate where I am and what I have.

Hallo ted, well the engineer arrived and was amazed to hear the terrible
rattle, it was like a hedge cutter in distress, then I pulled out the wedge
shaped plug with full keyboard and silence reigned, we tried 2 other keyboards,
but they had in a nut shell had it, however he had ordered a new keyboard for
my desktop the dell windows 7 a really good one with keys just as I like, even
so I fear I plaster some keys with bumpons and"lumps of clag it is a microsoft
keyboard ordered on line,we then put the dell keyboard on this laptop I know it
is not ideal,it tends to have numberpad stick at times and down arrow not
work,but No death rattle! I had asked a friend who uses Jaws and programmes
I do if that dreadful rattle would have damaged Jaws vocal cords, or the thing
it speaks with, think is synth,I cannot spell it. friend said no, it would
not, so all is ok for the moment I have typed all my life as my handwriting is
poor,and it was easier for me, I had a tiny hermes portable, however and this
baffles me, when I typed I did not make mistakes,and even up to the time I had
to sadly give it up,I did not make spelling mistakes, did not even have a
rubber handy. computers and spellchecking go hand in hand unless you are very
good atspelling I fear I seem unable to put 2 words together without mistakes
and punctuation gone to pot,and please believe me I am trying----- Original

Having been a touch typist for (can it be) 47 years now, I'd probably use a
regular keyboard at home anyway. The only time I ever used a notebook, I
cheated with a regular keyboard. Our EEO coordinator, our Web mistress, and I
were doing a presentation on assistive technology to a quarterly EEO meeting
about 8 years ago, and I figured this was not the time to acquire a new set of
keyboard skills with company looking on. I got some great feedback, and I
think the assembled company was impressed with JAWS' capability.

the dreadful loud rattle sound from jaws andxp laptop continued,I recorded
it ,so on sunday engineer can her it, pondering on sound cards as he did update
the laptop completely, after the third death rattle in one afternoon, I pulled
out the full keyboard I am using since it is easier than trying to use laptop
keyboard, I heard a ping, as it left system and the rattle stopped at once! the
full keyboard has a wedge shape plug and the round pin on keyboard lead has
round point and it plugs into a lead with two leads,I am not explaining this
well, but I suspect somewhere either the keyboard lead or the wedge shaped plug
is the cause, but since I have always used a full plug in keyboard on my lap so
I can sit comfortably it must be something external and not the sound card,
well it started as a Jaws problem as it was Jaws that sounded in agony and I
thought Jaws 11 was a gonner! Dorothy
