Lots of ifs, but, if you are going to use this MSDN AA for a limited period of time, and you have a spare computer which you can put a pro MS product on it, you could use Jaws in forty minute mode on that spare machine. Otherwise, I am afraid I can see a free spike next to me here or you can join Tiddy's barrel, which ever you prefer. Sorry about the dry sense of humour this morning!

If you want/need to use the MS professional products, you're stuck with having to use Jaws professional, unless you can find some alternative screen reader. and this isn't the place to discuss such things without getting your knuckles rapped for going off topic. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Marvin Hunkin Sent: 20 October 2010 08:12 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] jaws pricing hi. why is it going to cost me $708 to upgrade from the jaws stadnard to jaws pro plus sma. which way should i go. just that i am doing a online help desk course, and the msdn aa subscription i have subscribed to, apart from windows 2003 stadnard, all windows xp, vista and 7 are professional. so i need jaws pro to use these software. please advice, what i should do. got till november 18 to place my order with quantum technology in sydney, australia. marvin.
