Hi, Jack,
I believe that the print material is on the floppy for you to read. I have
had Jaws for over seven years and have found that all the info I need is on
the floppy. Since FS has now gone to a CD for authorization purposes and
because some new computers are being shipped without floppy drives, I
wonder if they should not have sent another CD witha Braille note that it
contains a readme file, or just print the directions in Braille. However, I
think the floppy is there to allow you to put the necessary information
they want on it and then send it back with your check. Check your floppy.
I'll bet it has the same stuff on it as the included print stuff. I got
that too since I did not renew my SMA when FS called. I need to wait a bit.
