Hi,
I'm realising just how lucky I've struck with PC World over here. But, try
telling most chains and/or smaller System Builders about a Screen Reader and
see what happens.
My PC World actually let me install Window Eyes on one of their laptops in
store! I said I wanted to makesure the video card wasnt' going to bomb like it
did on the one I'd just brought back. It wasn't any problem whatsoever.
Cheers,
Barry.
