Hi Rafael and other, rafael, your experience in using vmware is very interresting for mi. I want to ask you if you use vmware and W2000 with a screen reader like Jaws or same or only with a screen magnifier. Personally I wish to use vmware and windows with Jaws : do you think it will be possible ? And if you work in braille have you succeed in installing vmware without sighted assistance ? The last question : If you use Jaws or same can you access Vmware buttons like Power or so ? Thanks in advance for your feedback. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rafael Skodlar" <raffi@linwin.com> To: <blinux-list@redhat.com> Sent: Saturday, December 01, 2001 8:22 PM Subject: Re: personal money management tools for linux without X? > I do not use DOS for many years and do not know the programs you are using > under it.
