Hello to Both David and Rick.
I am just checking to ask, if my question about the Acer netbook computer
that I was interested in purchasing, reached the blind computing list, or
the jaws users list, or both. If not, could either of you forward my
question, too both lists just in case? also, just for the purposes of
having the right email address for the blind computing list, could you
please email me the correct email addressfor the blind computing list
please? I'm not sure that I have the correct email address for that list in
my address book, so that's why I'm asking, just too make sure. I'll paste
the message below, so that you may forward it if you think its alright too
ask on both of your lists. Thanks in advance too both of you,
Al
Good afternoon everyone.
About two hours ago, I went into pc Richards to ask them if they carry the
Acer netbook computer. When I tried asking the sailsmen there what was the
differents between the Acer 9 and 10 inch screen, and whether or not, how
many gigs does it have, as i was primarily interested in finding out, if
I could get it with two gigs of memory, or would I have the ability too up
grade it to too gigs of memory at some later point in time. All he could
tell me was, that it comes with a 160 hard storage hard drive, and that
he'd have too go and check out the specs of the computer too find out the
answers. My questions too all of you are as follows. How much does a 160
hard drive storage, equate too the amount of gigs of memory that the
netbook computer has. If its a 9, or 10 inch screen, how much of the
batteries power will last. I mean by this, will I get 5, or 7 hours of
battery power before the power runs out, or gets turned off. Next, if I
turn off the screen, how much longer will the batteries power last, before
the netbook runs out. Do you all think, that if I were too get it with
windows vista ultimate addition with the latest version of media
senter on it, will this netbook computer with the two different specsthat
I've mentioned here, will it allow me too put on it all that i'd like too
put on it, as well as putting on it at somepoint in the future, system
access moble network? Will I be able too install jaws 10 on it as well? I
was possibly thinking of purchasing it from them, because I have a $150.00
gift card that I can apply towards the purchase price of the netbook. Where
as if I go through lets say, Amazon, I could maybe save any shipping
chargesthat might be applied. What's everyone's opinion?
Too be perfectly honest, sometimes I find that as a person who is totally
blind, the sails people don't seem too take us verry seriously, as they
might as when a person has sight. When you go into these large department
stores where a lot of electronic items are sold such as computers, netbooks,
and other things, there are far too many people trying too ask specific
questions of the computer technisions, and not enough sails help, and not
enough technisions too serve the amount of people, who maybe waiting on
verry long lines, just too get the answers that they need. This is why I try
verry hard, too stay away from stores like best buy, Pc richards, circuit
city when it was in business, and the wyz, when that store was in business
as well. When I make a purchase of this kind, I want too put my hands on
it, and ask the appropriate questions, Which your not able too do when you
purchase things like this on line.
