Re: personal money management tools for linux without X?

["nath31" <nath31@ifrance.com>]

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.
