[nabs-l] Mac Vs. Windows

[Joshua Hendrickson]

Hi Lizzy.  I've never used a mac, so can't say which is better or not.
 I've been a windows user since windows 98.  When it comes to using
windows, it also depends on whether you'd like windows7 or windows8.
Personally, if I were getting a laptop, I'd get a windows7 laptop.  I
found a great hp laptop on amazon for around $700.  It has 8 gigs of
ram, a 750 gb hard drive, a dvd drive, and I think a 2 gigaherts
processor, plus wireles capability of course.  If I weren't saving up
for a braille-sense u2, I'd grab one.  Also, which operating system,
are you most familiar with?  If you are used to using windows, I'd
stick with that.  As far as screen readrs go, there is NVDA which is
free, and also, that new deal with GW MICRO and micro soft for a free
version of window-eyes 8.4.  Good luck making your decition.
