I don't think the ability to take jaws with you and put it on another
computer, even if it is
only for 40 minutes is a frivolous feature. I believe you can also put your
ilm on another computer though I am not sure of this. I also liked the
feature to substitute sounds for messages and didn't think that feature was
frivolous. I have used that feature along with the place marker feature. I
also know I will use the jaws clipboard feature. I rather like the ability
to use both the jaws and the windows clip boards depending on
circumstances. ----- Original Message -----
