Hi Chris,

Exactly.  IT's the same way I just do not like this whole paid market for Jaws 
scripts and add-ons that has sprung up all over the place.  For example, 
scripts for iTunes, which other screen readers, albeit only partially, support 
out of the box.

Personally I think there should be. It's not fair paying for a high price of 
JAWS then to pay more just to add something on. Other screen readers don't 
do this; why JAWS. Apart from that I love JAWS to bits and it's saved my 
bacon on several occasions thanks to the Tandem feature.
