Hi Roger,
This is good news! I've never tried before to give away software, and it
sounds like they make it as difficult as possible--so I'm glad you have
other options.
I don't know about the reduced price on Kurzweil for switching from
OpenBook, but the site on which I found the info I needed to upgrade was
www.kurzweiledu.com.

I just got through calling Freedom Scientific and it looks like my options
are better than I thought. First, Sandi offered to give me her Open Book 8
since she went over to Kurzweil. It was to ask questions about that
possibility that I called FS this morning. Sandi, it doesn't look like that
is going to work. They did say that Open Book 8 is compatible with Windows
7, but if I was running a 64 bit Windows 7 they would have to send me an
update disk. I don't know if my Windows 7 is 64 bit or not, but there is a
certain reason that I think so. That may be moot though. That was the
information I got from calling technical support. I then called sales. I
asked if there were any legal issues I should be aware of concerning the
licence. Well, it turns out that they would have to transfer the licence
and charge 75 dollars to do that and I would have to upgrade to the latest
version of the software. Obviously I would be better off just buying the
latest version. Now here is the good news. The sales rep asked me some
questions so that he could verify that I already owned Open Book 6. It
turns out that with that verification I can get Open Book 9 for way, way
cheaper than I expected. The price was so low that I think I am going to go
ahead and do that. I did not make a commitment just yet though. Most of the
people on this list use Kurzweil and as I read all the banter about using
it on this list I get the impression that it is a much better software. So
can someone post a link to a web page that will tell me something about
their discount for switching from Open Book? I understand that the price is
still pretty high if I do that, so I am probably just going to upgrade my
Open Book, but as long as I am shopping I thought it would be a good idea
to at least look into it before I take the plunge.
