Sounds promising. A friend of mine who used to do IT for our Department
of Education sent me some info about an adaptive program used by
visually impaired students here in Kentucky a few years ago (I can't
remember its name now--something to do with "write"). I went to their
Web site, and almost bit on it, but it sounded too good to be true for
the price. Besides, I've used this package for 14 years now, or longer
than my two DOS packages put together, and better the devil you know . .
. . That's the same rationale that keeps both public and private
sectors using Microsoft.

I have found that about every other version of JAWS clears up what the
previous version fouled up.
12 should clear up the problems from 11 and, unfortunately, I stop with
13
so I will probably have to go one more shot.
I sincerely hope that NVDA continues to progress.

You said it, brother. I just hope that 12, whenever it comes, clears up
11's major problems. It is the first version I've found (and I go back
to 1.X) that was a total waste of money.

Gerald,
I guess the lesson we learn is that it's cheaper ($100 per pro version)
to
keep the SMA updated, than to let it lapse, which then costs you $200 to
get
started again, and then $200 for the next two revisions. Sort of like
life
insurance -- you pay and pay because you don't dare to not pay.

Yikes! I had no idea that upgrading from my current version of JAWS 9
to
JAWS 11 Pro is so expensive. Guess I'll be sticking with JAWS 9 until
this
computer dies. I have better things to spend $400 on.
