[Trainer-talk] a netbook

[David B Andrews]

I didn't use it personally.  My guy says it was a bit flaky.

Were you able to use JAWS on it fairly well with eloquence?

We looked at the Dell Mini 9 and didn't like it as well as some
others,
like the MSI Wind.  Its keyboard wasn't great, and the tester reported
that it seemed sluggish and didn't handle MSAPI 5 speech well.

Howdy,



I've been seeing these Del Netbooks for sale at a very good price. 
I'm
wondering if anyone has used them and if so, how do they work for you?

Does
JAWS run on them OK?  What would I need special if I were to get one?

Jim
