[Electronics-talk] ACCESSIBLE TABLETS/NETBOOKS

[Christopher Chaltain]

I should have mentioned that I also have a netbook. I have an old nine
inch Asus netbook which came with Windows XP. I ran JAWS and NVDA on it
before I installed Ubuntu on it. I did upgrade it from 1G of memory to
2G to give JAWS a bit more room.

Netbooks are losing market share to tablets, but they started losing
market share even before that to the ultra thins that Apple, Asus and
other companies started coming out with a few years ago.
