Hi, I'm not Dave, but I'm the person who asked what FIOS means. I know about those all in one deals from the cable companies or whatever this is about. I get their pitches in junk postal mail all the time, scan the brochures in Open Book, and throw them away. I'm fine with my Verizon cell phone, AT&T land line, and very economical ISP subscription to DSL Extreme. The thing is, maybe I don't read far enough through those brochures to see the term FIOS, or maybe only fairly tec savvy people ever mention it? That could be, which means I'm just out of the loop about that category. No problem. Thanks a lot for explaining. ----- Original Message ----- From: "RAWest" <rawest@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, February 11, 2008 3:33 PM Subject: RE: JAWS and Verizon Hello Dave.

Are you guys saying that you are using the television receiver and your ISP service as your internet browser, and have JAWS installed on it? In other words, is there no PC-compatible computer involved in this? Sorry if this is naive but somehow all this doesn't make sense to me.
