Hi Ray, Naah, I don't rate Toshes at all any more. They have noisy fans, and their tech support is a bit crud from the ones I've had. I now like Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebooks. They are beautiful machines, well engineered, and if you are looking for small, apart from tablet PCs, they are it, and they have the quietest fans I have heard in a laptop. All the best -- Computer Room Services: the long cane for blind computer users.

I mean I thought Tosh's were reckoned to be the bee's knees of laptops. Mind,not that I can get excited over laptops at all, but suppose that's my problem.

Now, if you want that story which is very much access related (or the lack of it), ask me nicely! <Smile> Meantime, I'm wondering which programmes I can use on my new "Key to Freedom", Steve? Others may be interested in how that works with other programmes, so you might just like to fill us in. I'm particularly wondering about SKYPE. I remember you saying that WINAMP will work that way. Do you only find out which will and which will not by trial and error, or is there a better way? -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
