Hi All

New technology must be in the air. My hard drive on my large old XP 
laptop died for the 4th time awhile ago. Urk. Do not ask how long ago.

Anyway, I have been machine shopping.

Does anyone have any tips about laptop models with good tactile 
keyboards? Lots of new laptops seem really thing. This is nice for 
portability but I find ithard to feel the keys. Today I saw a Samsung 
with a keyboard I liked but I am wondering whether other people have 
tips.

When i say BIG, I mean big laptop, 17" , so big that a neighbor gives 
me a hard time abotu the biggest laptop in the world. I have been 
working with / looking at various size screens and honestly sometimes 
really like the extra screen real estate. So I am interested in hearing 
 from other ZT users about what you find the biggest tradeoffs between 
larger and smaller screens.

I am cranky about slow performance but also cranky about reading tech 
specs. Sigh.

How much memory yields good performance with JAWS?

I have ZT 10 and ZT 9.1 because of a license gotten when I got the 
toerh computer. Does anyone have info about how well ZT plays with JAWS 
14 or 15?

THANKS
