[Electronics-talk] Accessible tablet

[Tracy Carcione]

If I wanted to get proficient in Microsoft Office products, I'd get a
netbook or laptop of some kind.  Some come with some version of Office
pre-loaded, if you want that, and I've seen netbooks on Amazon much cheaper
than, say, an iPad Air.
Further, I'm not sure how well Apple products play with Microsoft products.
A netbook or laptop doesn't come with a screen reader, but NVDA is free, and
works well with Office.

I don't know. Just seemed doable. Probably Word processing of some sort and
email and web surfing is all. I don't have a Word processor right now which
sucks because I could be using this time to become proficient in Word and
Excel, rather than waiting for life to turn in my favor and then being
unprepared. Most jobs require that.
