[nfbcs] new laptop

[Currin, Kevin]

My laptop only has 2 gb of RAM, so I'm thinking that a new comp will be the way to go. Cleaning it up may not fix the problem due to the small amount of RAM.

Hello Everyone,

I have had a Lenovo thinkpad t410 for the past two and a half years.
However, its become quite slow and freezes frequently. I know that jaws
causes is responsible for a lot of the lag. Would getting a new laptop with
more memory at all help with this issue, or does jaws slow computers down
the same amount regardless of memory?

I am also looking for a computer that can handle java programming in eclipse
and running other things like RNAfold under cygwin.

I've heard that voice over on mac's isn't nearly as powerful as jaws when it
comes to doing programming and math/science things with excel and such. Is
this true? Should I stick with a PC if I want to do science and programming
stuff?

Sorry for the scatteredness of this email.

Thanks,

Kevin
