[Trainer-talk] a netbook

[Peg Jolene]

Initially, I tested our newly-acquired Dell Mini9 successfully with  
System Access, actually SATOGO, along with narrator. It was faster  
than the Dell 600 series I've used recently. Then my husband turned it  
into a Mac and it has great portability and accessibility. smile!
