[blindLaw] Windows computer Suggestions

[Teresita Rios]

Hi Page, 
I use a Mac but a new firm prefers Windows. I told them my bad experiance with Windoes and ZoomTex and Fusion and they still ask for a Windows alternative. So here I am trying to figure out the windows world. 

My Mac has only glitched like twice in the three years I had it. 
I use Zoom with Spoken Content at the same time. This combination is pretty much  ZoomText. It reads what is underneath the cursor and what you type. 
However, sometimes for some reason a webpage or PDF is not being read by Spoken Content. But in such a case I just turn on VoiceOver. VoiceOver, is controlled by the keyboard (not the cursor)  can also be used with zoom on a Mac. and you have essentially Fusion. 

Warmly, 
Teresita

I asked what is a good number and what Cache is. But they were not helpfull stating “large vvideo rendering memory is all you need” and that they could not give me more specifics.
