[blindlaw] Stability question

[Sybren Hoekstra]

the power of your laptop actually is an issue. windows 7 and jaws 14 is a great combo if your computer has a good processor, but it will freeze up on a bad one, especially if youre using a complex website like westlaw.

i would also appreciate any suggestions for jaws/OS combinations and laptop suggestions for use in court and other situations where you cant afford to have jaws go silent from practicing attorneys. ill be in court a fair amount this year as a part of clinical work, and will be graduating in may.
