[gui-talk] Notebooks and laptops

[Stephen Guerra]

Wayne, though you raise an excellent point, anyone who has a current System
Access Mobile license, would be able to remote their pc which is not
responding, no matter if that pc is running JAWS or Window-Eyes, and if that
screen reader has stopped functioning, then with SA they would be able to
remote from another pc or laptop to the ill running machine and resolve what
ever is going on.

Just a thought.

On the topic of video, though I wouldn't get the flashy video cards, I'd
advise getting some sort of video. I become concerned when I hear blind
people say that they don't want  a monitor. Sure, even though you won't have
a use for it, there will be a time at some point when you want someone to
look at your monitor for whatever reason. Perhaps JAWS is misbehaving, or
you need to find a particular button on the screen and JAWS isn't letting
you. Whatever the case, at some point or another, you will find yourself in
this position, and you'll be glad that you have the monitor so you can ask
someone to help. Yes, those sighties are good for something after all,
*grin*. So getting one that's pleasant to look at but not the newest in
gaming video presentation would be a good thing.

Good luck,
Wayne
