I tend to agree. I have read about many problems with JAWS 8, but I have not experienced many of them. I do have a problem with JAWS crashing from time to time, but I think that is an issue with my machine that need more memory to adequately run JAWS.

In this instance, I don't agree with Rich, who I know from other contributions is very knowledgeable. I find the version of JAWS 8 that you download from the FS website, as opposed to the original version on the mailed CD, to be reliable. There have been many fewer complaints about this version of JAWS than those about the various guises of 7. Clearly, it all depends on our individual experiences with JAWS, which in turn seem to depend on our machines and possibly on what applications we use.----- Original Message ----- From: "Stacey Robinson" <staceyr75@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Rich, Thanks for the info. Stacey and GAB Dog Chesley staceyr75@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Sherman" <squirman@xxxxxxxxxx Hi, Welcome to the list.As for upgrading I would put in a call to FS as another person stated. This way you can answer any questions they have and they can get the proper info to give you the correct amount.My opinion is to only upgrade to 7.1 at this time and wait a while until some of the problems with 8.0 has been worked out. You can check the archives and see what everyone has stated good or bad about version 8.Take care. Rich ----- Original Message ----- From: Stacey RobinsonHi all, I am new to the list. My name is Stacey Robinson, and I've used Jfw in the past. The last version I had was 5.0. I don't have a pc right now but I'm considering purchasing a laptop. I use the voicenote mpower for email. I'm wondering if anyone has any idea how much it would cost me to upgrade my jfw 5.0 to the latest version?Stacey Robinson and GEB Dog Chesley staceyr75@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.comJFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxTo unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.Archives located at: //www.freelists.org/archives/jfwIf you have any concerns about the list, post received from the list, or the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
