Re: QuickBooksand quicken accessibility for JAWS
Thank you for all your efforts to make Quicken accessible to us who cannot read print. It is a program that I need to use.

Re: Read and Read
JAWS pronounces things a lot better than a lot of people I know do, so the occasional flub doesn't really bother me too much.

Re: [Bulk] buying a laptop: was new on the list
Hi Dave,
Yes, I know the cost is more. But FS gave me the price for either upgrade
from where I'm at. So, my question. Does it make sense from the operating

Jean,
If you have the home edition then you need to stick with the Home or (not
Professional) version of Windows. Upgrades to the pro version in both JAWS
and Windows costs more.

buying a laptop: was new on the list
I happen to be a big fan of Toshiba laptops, but in fact all laptops are
made by a few manufacturers and then branded, so it may not matter.
