Hi,

Well, as I said, I've gone over, well, am in the process of, to window eyes. 
My impressions are that everything just seems to work with this new computer 
without much less effort than on other machines. I tried it with Jaws and 
got the old issue of the ctrl key locking on and nothing I could do about 
it, which I have been nagging Sight and Sound and FS about for over a year. 
There is a Jaws keyboard layout if you really want it, but I would learn the 
new keystrokes and change the ones you don't like. I think the speech is 
sometimes slightly weird having been used to Jaws but it never seems to 
crash and it is definitely quicker than Jaws. It'll probably even speed your 
existing machine up.

Cheers
Dave
