OK. I'll admit I haven't read the entire thread, but I love the jaws tandem
feature. Yes you can use teamviewer instead of jaws tandem, but the other
person also have to have a support module installed on their computer as
well.

You'll be back to JAWS as surely as the swallows return to Capestrano.  Why?

Because of its Tandem feature which you couldn't stop raving about.  Try 
accessing someone else's computer remotely with the open source screen 
reader and see how far you get.
