Hey curious, when you setup windows using Bootcamp, how much space
was required? I really like the idea of Parallels, but might consider
giving Bootcamp a try to save dragging my laptop home, but that's if
my employer will give me that windows cd cause I ain't buying a copy
just for work purposes.
tnx

At least on paper running Bootcamp allows you to give windows all

systems at the same time.
I'd still be interested to know if there is a reaction time
difference when
interacting with both solutions. My only experience has been with
bootcamp,
and that runs access software seriously quickly. Very snappy.

is it as quick as boot camp or is it a bit slower? and please keep
ip us
posted, hopefully we can get jaws working to that would keep us from
rebooting if we need to run windows apps.
thanks

Wow that's brilliant. is it possible to use an external sound
card to
pipe
window eyes through when using parallels?
If so maybe that mite fix the fuzziness.
good luck and keep us all posted.

Subject: Parallels WindowEyes and JAWS
Folks,
I just tried the latest release of Parallels (RC1) with Windoweyes
and JAWS. WindowEyes seems to work with Parallels. You can
navigate
around the screen, insert text into Notetab and use Firefox. I'm
not a Windoweyes user so I did not know what else to try. I had
sighted help so I don't know if I could have installed WE without
sighted help. The response time seemed OK. The only problem was
that the voice sounded fuzzy.
The bad news is that JAWS still has the video intercept problem and
now causes some kind of problem in Windows. My helper could not
read
the message so I can't be more specific.
We will send comments on to Parallels. but I'm really impressed
with
how fast Parallels started working on the problem and the progress
that has been made.
