Hi D.J
I think I'm just about convinced now. I do really like the Zoostorm 2-5402
which comes with Media Center. There would be no point in going from JAWS 6
to JAWS 8 Professional, only to get ripped off again next winter when JAWS
bring out an upgrade.
I think there is something honest about WindowEyes. After all, WE users
have been telling us that for years.
You wouldn't have the subscription address for the WindowEyes list would
you. I subscribed then unsubscribed recently, without keeping the details.
Very best wishes.
Andy
