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.
