Hmm. I suppose it'd be one of those work-at-a-pinch things, then.
I'll still miss Microsoft Sam, though. Sam was de bomb and
things. lol

Subject: RE: [BTT] Hi all
The text-to-speech is a bit laggy, which makes any task you
attempt to
perform slightly laggy when using the keyboard. There are quirks
that I
personally dislike, like the fact that you need to press a
zillion hotkeys
to get anything done ... but I have that dislike of the mac too.
Makes
browsing the web slightly less efficient than it has to be.
Because it's a
built-in screenreader, I imagine that updating it won't happen a
whole
bunch, so you're pretty much stuck with what you have. And there
are less
navigational elements on the web, and document editing support
isn't what it
should be. Otherwise it works pretty well. You can navigate
tables, check
your email, write a quick document, stuff like that. And touch
screen
support isn't bad either.

Hmm. That's interesting that Narrator has improved so much. What
are its
limitations?

Subject: RE: [BTT] Hi all
It's similar in many ways, but some apps have that ribbon that
office has,
the start menu is now a start screen that is layed out in tiles
that
screenreaders love so very much, there exist these things called
charms for
getting to settings and stuff, the shut down menu is hidden with
the result
that it took me 30 minutes the first time to figure out where the
bloody
thing was (I could've shut it down using other ways but I wanted
to find the
menu) and lots of admin tools are even more hidden. Oh, and it
supports
touch screens pretty well if you have JAWS 15 or NVDA. Oh, and
Narrator is
vastly improved to the point where I'd put it on par with
VoiceOver ...
maybe a tad bit below. But I am able to get by with it as a
primary
screenreader now, although I don't generally do so

shuts down
everything isn't really snow.

Wait, whatever happened to your regular diet of coke and
cookies?
And by getting a new puppy, I'm assuming you mean guide dog?
What
school you going to? I'm assuming one of those in the eastern
half of the
U.S., but hey who knows.
