[AERNet] technology question

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello:

     I would suggest contacting AI Squared and check on the actual contract or if ZoomText can be run from a thumb drive. A rolling backpack might make it easier to move the laptop on the level. Not sure about the stairs, this sounds like a question for an occupational therapist.

Regards,

Robert Jaquiss

  HI,
  Have you tried a back pack to carry the laptop?
  Is it too heavy or too much to carry?
