[blparent] shopping on line question

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

Go to Walmart and get a laptop.
Call Freedom Scientific so you're current on JAWS.
Just because I'm curious, how old is your system?

Hi Dave. I was wondering about that. I think you're right about the virus
part. It's driving me nuts though. We took my computer into see the geek
squad at Best Buy (yes that's what they call themselves) and they said that
my system is so old, that they can't help me. Oh, they were going to try,
but no guarantees. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I can think of at least two possible problems, it could be that your old
version of JAWS doesn't know how 'to deal 'with things  on the web page, and
or you may have some sort of virus or malware. That kind of delay isn't
normal.  Dave
