Another one to stay away from is the msi wind. I didn't care for it
because you cannot use the number pad the way you can with most laptops
unless you change all your hot keys around. I'm used to leaving
Window-Eyes at the default hot key layout and just using the fn-key
together with the embedded number pad of a laptop. However the msi wind
has the number pad broken in that the behavior is different. In
addition, the comma, period, and slash keys are too small for my fingers
and I find myself making more typos than usual. So I gave mine to my
wife who doesn't care about such things, *smile*.

Hi Andy,
Do you have a netbook? If so, what kind do you have? I was really sorry to
hear the negative report about the Dell. I really like Dell computers. I
think that I would like a netbook for reading audiobooks on the computer,
watching movies from Mice Mart, watching some TV channels that are not
available to me through my cable company and streaming internet radio. I
don't think that you can do any of those things with the Voice Sense.

Hi Paulette,
Keep in mind that the vast majority of netbooks currently run Windows XP
Home, and after october 22, they will probably come with Windows 7. window
Eyes will perform on a netbook the same way that it would perform on any
other Windows computer. Most netbooks have the same guts, usually an Intel
Atom processor, 1 GB RAM, and a 120 or 160 GB HD. The difference is really
ook and feel. For many, the keyboard is the most important concern. The
best thing that you can do is to go to a computer store and put your hands
on some of them, and check out things like the size and placement of keys.
my experience has been that if you don't like the keyboard, you probably
won't use the machine much. Of course, you could always plug in a standard
USB keyboard, but that would negate the biggest advantage to netbooks,
namely, their portability.

Hi all,
I am thinking about purchasing a Netbook. Do they work well with Window
Eyes and if so, what is the best brand to use with Window Eyes? Thanks.
