Hmm, I also used Artic Vision using the Symphonics 215 board in the 80s. I started with JAWS in 1994 when I got an Arkinstone computer with OpenBook. I think it was loaded with Windows 3.?? And I can not remember what JAWS version. I know my JAWS license is less than 5000. Man, have we come a long, long way since those days.

So I guess the version that I first owned was JAWS 2.0. For synthesizers, I used an Artic TransPort mainly, but I liked the old DoubleTalk, too.

I'm not sure what the version numbers were, but I think JFW 2.something. BTW: I joined this group back when it was hosted by a university in Australia. (any of you old-timers remember this?) Alan
