Hello Nadine and listers, I'm using the Alva Model 3 with Jaws 4.5 with Duxbury and the Index Basic D Embosser from Sighted Electronics. Last month I had a hard drive crash which necessitated my purchess of a brand new HP Pavillian Desktop with Windows XP Home Edition and lots of other toys pre-installed. DBT and my other Braille production hardware and software are working well under this OS with Jaws. The crash just about killed me for this current semester, but it looks like my Braille class will survive the carnage intact. That ought to tell you how well things are working on the new computer where Braille is concerned. I lost lots of school work, and e-mail correspondence. As for some of it it was time for it to go, but luckily enough was preserved to allow us to reconstruct events if necessary. Hope this helps.
