Adam does raise a jolly good question here though, and one I'd appreciate
any experiential opinions about up here also.
Is it still the best practise then, to gain maximum jaws functionality/user
happiness, to set up a machine in windows classic mode generally?
And what about display res. Are their still certain default configurations
of a machine that Jaws recommends a user adopt these days?
