Hi Steve
yes I have purchased both of these tutorials and agree they are excellent. I
was just trying to think of the person who Graham is training though, entering
"cached" is all very well if you understand the idea of the virtual find
feature and if you have a basic grasp of what "cached" means and why you are
entering it, but that might not be the most intuitive method for someone with
no experience at all. Jonathan's tutorials are good, but he wisely assumes a
reasonable degree of computer knowledge (how else would you purchase and play
the tutorial?).

Hi James,
I tend to follow Graham's way and search for the word Cached, and that tends
to work.
By the way, there is an excellent tutorial on Google from Jonathan Mosen on
http://www.mosenexplosion.com. And if you think you know Google well, so did
I, but I still learned from it.
I don't sell this or anything, but I do highly recommend it. His tutorial
Speaking Of Skype is equally excellent. As ever, they are both very well
researched. They are a bit JAWS oriented, but you can still get a lot from
them if you use another screen reader.
All the best

Try playing with the "next non-linked text" setting and personalise it to
Google. You might be able to get it so that it generally skips the sponsored
Links, although I'm not sure how reliable that will turn out to be.

Hi all.
I am a regular internet user and tend to use google for searching as many
do. When training new users, the bigest problem is getting past the sponsored
links quickly and looking at the propper results.
I search for the word Cached and then know that probably I am on the first
result. Anyone else got any suggestions? I use JAWS version 7.
Cheers
Graham
