Don't pay to much attention to being told by letter that a renewal is due. I certainly didn't receive any such letter, either by post or e-mail the last time my SMA ran out. I waited before contacting S&S because I new they operated this letter system to let us know that the time had come around to think about stumping up a few more quid for JAWS, but I still had to pay top dollar, even though the failure was at their end. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Amro Bilal" <amro_bilal@xxxxxxx> To: <jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, November 20, 2006 3:28 PM Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: JAWS 8.0 is posted for download | Hi Christopher, | | Who is this JAWS dealer you're talking of please?
