Hmm, if you jump into the file at location 39 minutes and 39 seconds and listen from that point forward then it sounds like if your SMA has run out then you may not get it. I hope FS is monitoring the list and can clarify this. I am certainly willing to admit I am wrong :). -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joseph Lee Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 10:39 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Official word from FS about vista Jeff, The way I've heard (I've just heard this podcast now), it seems that the next update is a free version for all JAWS 8.0 customers. Cheers, Joseph P.S. I guess you can now invite FS folks on Main Menu show next week to have indefth discussion about JAWS and Vista. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Jeff Bishop" <jeff.bishop@xxxxxxxxx >To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >Date sent: Wed, 31 Jan 2007 22:33:07 -0700 >Subject: RE: Official word from FS about vista >I could be mistaken here but I think if you are not in the SMA program that >Vista will not be an option.
