JAWS 4.51

Just earlyer today, I found that having the tutor messages and access keys 
announced in JAWS is really too much verbage. Meaning that JAWS was using to 
much speech, when I didn't need extra speech telling me to press the arrow keys 
 
or use the spacebar. I'll admit that for a user starting out with JAWS, the 
tutor messages are helpful. They are great indications of what to do in a 
sertin 
control or dialog box. However, in my experience with JAWS, I've found that 
having the tutor messages for me is more of an annoyance then a help. It is not 
needed if you have already used earlyer versions of JAWS such as 3.7. 3.7 is 
the last version that wouldn't have extra speech. JAWS 4.0 started with the 
tutor messages and access keys. I also use the demo version of JAWS for Windows 
5.0, and yet I wonder wy have tutor messages? I found issues with that extra 
speech. That output is not really required in JAWS. For example, wile on the 
desktop, It is not nessasary to be told to move through items use the arrow 
keys, because tippically as computer users, don't we already know how to do 
that? 
I believe that these messages are good for the beginner, or new trainer. But 
in 3.7 we did not have this extra speech. 
Another question that I cannot help asking is this. 

       Does anyone know when the JAWS 5.0 program was released? Wasn't it 
something like October 13, 2003? 

I am asking because, I had a demo of JAWS for Windows 4.50. It expired. 
Meaning, that when I'd run it, I'd get a dialog telling me that I had 8 days 
remaining, etc as the days past. Well Once I had used up the final days, I 
tryed 
using my full version of JAWS to reset my system date, then after restarting to 
insure the changes whent in to effect, I tryed installing the demo, and it was 
once again back working. That's wy I wonder out of cureosity if anyone knows 
when the  5.0 program was released? I am not wishing to upset anyone on this 
list by asking such a question. I feel I'm crossing lines here that should not 
be   crossed. If I've overstept my bounderys by asking this question, please 
yel at me as long as you need to. I won't try asking such a question like this 
again. Only reason wy I hope I'm not overdoing things by asking these 
questions, is because on the JFWLite list, I got in big trouble for not keeping 
my 
subject lines appropriate  and because of that, I was placed on moderated    
stattice, and when I did it again, I was unsubscribed. Hopefully the same is 
not  
happening here. I apologize if I've upset anyone on this list. I do not wish to 
do so. 

With complete  apologys and regards to the list, Keith.
