I learned all of Jaws from reading the help files, the manual that used
to come on disk and listening to the tapes. Never have taken a computer
class or had one-on-one training for computers and I have been actively
using computers since 1984 when we had a Kaypro CPM machine.

My first version of Jaws was 3.5 and there was no one around here
knowledgeable about it. I found that if I really concentrated, much
could be learned from the six-tape tutorial. Later I learned more about
Windows from other places and tutorials specifically for that. The
tutorial tapes were a good starting place, especially for someone like
me, who new absolutely nothing about computers. And the reason I chose
Jaws back then was partly because, when I was researching to know what
to use, I called both what is now Freedomscientific and the major
competing screen reader software company. That one told me they would
be happy to send me a demo disk and a lot of paper work. As a brand new
computer user, I hadn't a clue what to do with the disk and had no way
to read the paper work at that time. People at FS sent me a sample
cassette, which was actually a part of the tutorial, and some general
info in braille. These were a big help in making my decision. I have
no regrets, even though I complain sometimes. Lois Goodine.
