Good morning, I would say windows seven as that would most likely be
easier for John. This is because; it is closer to XP what he is most
likely used to. You can find windows seven software online or by a used
system from a shop. However; make sure you check system for viruses.

Go for Windows 7 or 8.1 not Windows 8. I have 4 GB of RAM here and an
Intel Core I3 dual core processor clock speed unknown here and it's
working well.

Over the years Jon & I (Heinz, the mentor) have slowly upgraded screen
readers from a simple dos-system through most all the JAWS versions.
We are
now at JAWS 15. Our computer is old and slow and has an updated and
current
version of XP. We use Outlook Express and IE8. Google is our
search-tool.
I am thinking of upgrading the computer and the Operating System so
the we
can work with the internet a little easier.
What specs should the new computer have? What Operating System should
we use
(At home I use XP, Vista, of course w/o JAWS --Heinz) and what Browser
should we use?
Jon's problem is not only total blindness but also memory issues,
such that
learning new things, and linking long strings of actions to arrive at
the
end-result is difficult. I would like to minimize the learning of new
things.
Any suggestion would really be appreciated.
