Hi Andy,
The current version of Window Eyes is 6.0. There will be a free patch =
early
in the new year ready for Vista. If you get a new computer soon, it =
will
either come with Vista or come with XP, but include an update voucher =
for
Vista.
I understand what you mean about having to learn all those new =
keystrokes
after so many years working with Jaws. Window Eyes does now include a
keyboard configuration to simulate Jaws, but I chose not to use it =
myself.
If I was going to make the change, I was going to do it properly! =
<smile>
Apologies for not including Steve's contact details. I should have =
thought
of it at the time. The web site is:
http://www.comproom.co.uk/
Phone: 01438-742286.
As for the demo, it can be downloaded from:
www.gwmicro.com
And you'll find it a smaller download than Jaws.
HTH.
Ian

Hi Ian.
=A3200 for three upgrades does sound a lot cheaper as I'm being asked to =
pay=20
the same amount from jaws 6 to 8 and it really was not all that long ago =
that I paid out quite a lot of cash for this version. WindowEyes is=20
currently version 5 eh? So for a total cost of about =A3720.00, I'd not =
really
expect to pay for an upgrade for several years?
I'm coming into some cash shortly and intending to upgrade my computer. =
I'm
really quite tempted to switch, but a little concerned about learning =
all=20
those new keystrokes. I've been using jaws for years and years, cannot=20
remember, but about ten years.
Perhaps I can turn jaws off and download a demo of WE eh? I believe =
that I=20
can purchase from Steve Nut here in the UK, but I don't have any details =
of=20
his address, services or costs. If you can let me know where you =
purchased=20
from, I'll check them out tomorrow.
Best wishes.
Andy
