[nfbcs] New Laptop; and JAWS questions?

[Wm. Ritchhart]

Jim,

You will need to switch to the 64 bit version of Jaws.  Also, many web sites
are still not on 64 bit.  So you will want to put your 32 bit internet
browser where you can find it easily.


Thanks, William

Subject: [nfbcs] New Laptop; and JAWS questions?

Hi everyone,

 

Well, I'm on the verge of purchasing a new laptop.  I need something faster
with a bit more power and definitely more memory.

Everything I see now has Windows 7 premium or home edition, which is fine.

However, my main concern is whether or not I need to be aware of anything
when purchasing the new computer.

Does the fact that it is 64 bit mean anything regarding JAWS?  I will
probably also be getting Office 2010.

Will I have any real problems with JAWS and will there be some settings I'll
need to change or can I basically install JAWS and use it out of the box?

I need to definitely learn Windows 7 and Office 2010, so I figured since I'm
looking for a new laptop that it would be the perfect time.

Oh, are there any brands that work better than others?

 

Thanks!

Jim
