actually though I wasn't happy about the $180 I had to pay for the SMA, I paid it because you have to keep up. If you don't, eventually your software becomes unusable. Then you put out a lot more for the brand new package. Your choice is death by a thousand cuts or one big slash. Anyway on the freedom scientific websight there is a presentation FS-Cast which talks about the new features in JAWS ten. On the web cast Jonathan Mosen says that if you do not like the way JAWS now operates you can change it. You can for example eliminate the boops and beeps and turn "auto forms mode" off. I just went in to my utilities manager. insurt-J and dow arrow once to utilities. then I loaded the configuration manager. Hit alt key again and right arow once. Your first choice is user options. just like in JAWS 9. The next choice down is forms mode options. Here you can change auto forms mode and change or stop sounds being played when JAWS 10 goes in to forms mode.

Yesterday I got JAWS 10 and promptly installed it. Today I uninstalled it and reinstalled JAWS 9. I saw no advantages to JAWS 10 and there were a lot of very annoying features not the least of which was the fact that every time I tried to scroll past an edit field there was a plopping sound and I found myself in forms mode and stuck in the edit field. Then there were many various operations that I often perform that would simply not work anymore. Can anyone convince me that there is any advantage at all in reinstalling that program or does everyone else consider it a piece of trash too? This is not a rhetorical question. I paid a pretty good sum for the Software Maintenance Agreement that allowed me to receive it automatically and I really would like someone to tell me convincingly that I did not waste my money.To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank Email to bookshare-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the Subject line.
