then I would unfortunately chalk it up as not being worth the trouble, unless
the person in question is a power user. You'll be dealing with console based
apps such as Emacspeak, Speakup, or Brltty if you have a compatible
Braille display. Those apps can be quite functional, but there is a
high learning curve. The user will be way out of the mainstream, so the
lack of support and training could become problematic.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

unless this one has a standard hard drive, XP is not a possibility. Many
of those eee netbooks came with a 4 gb SSDrive. No room for XP.
There are some accessibility programs for Linux; whether or not they will run on
that version of Linux is indeed the question.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

could be tricky. I believe those machines ship with a proprietary flavor of
Linux. Not even sure which desktop they run. If it's using some offshoot of
Gnome, you may be able to get the Orca screenreader working on it; However if
not, then your best bet may be to blow away the OS, load it with XP, and
then use something like System Access. Serotek offers System access
licenses for atom processor based machines for
$149.00 </SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
