[nfbcs] All-In-Ones and Touch Screen Monitors

[Steve Cook]

Hi

I have an all in one Acer computer.  It has a touch screen monitor.  I had them turn the touch screen off because I use JAWS and knew it would not work with my AT.  HTH

Hello again everyone,

    The search for a new computer for Mary goes on. We came across what are referred to as all-in-one computers. Rather than their being a tower for the brains of the operation and, a separate monitor and speakers these components are housed in a single box hence the term all-in-one.

    Several of the units also come with touch-screen monitors. These are Windows machines and from what I can tell should handle access technology just fine. None the less before the in-laws put down the bucks for Mary's new machine we decided to check to see if anyone on these lists has an all-in-one PC, if anyone has a touch-screen monitor on their PC and of course how well screen access technology plays on these systems and in the presence of a touch-screen monitor. Once again your feedback will be very much appreciated.

"Will you come and awake our lost land from its slumber
      And her fetters we'll break, links that long are encumbered.
      And the air will resound with hosannas to greet you
      On the shore will be found gallant Irishmen to greet you."
Will You Come to the Bower
