well, all I can say, I'm in to auto racing as all of you who know me which
is almost no one on here know, and I hear all the time, I'm going to this
track where you're treated right, I'm going this route because there's no
favoritism, and tons of stuff and you know what? they do change, and they
usually come right back because it's as bad as the home track if not worse
in most instances you just don't see it until you get there. It's the same
with software, change brands, go right ahead, but I'm sure they all have
their problems like anything else. Me, I don't see 1/4 of the problems some
people on this list seem to. The only one that annoys me is the spell check
in OE which has been messed up since 5.1 but I'm not running crying to
windoe eyes because of that because I'm sure I could find something that
annoys me just as much if not worse with that.

I may catch hell for this... but I don't have as many problems with Jaws as
the rest of you seem to. Granted, part of it may be that most of the
software I use isn't Jaws friendly anyway so I don't even try it. But for
the ten or so apps I do use with Jaws I don't have many issues. As for their
support... I've gotten used to it with software companies after so long as a
Novell installer and network admin.
