beginning to think that JAWS 5.1 is more stable than 6

Dear Tracey Jackson and JFW list,

    After nearly a week or so with JAWS 6, and after having done 4 
installations of JAWS 6 and reconfiguring manually all my settings each time 
but the first two, and after having done quite a bit of browsing on the 
internet, and after having experienced problems with how JFW version 6 
behaves with Windows Messenger, and after having audio skipping issues with 
JFW version 6 and not any of these issues with JAWS version 5.1, I am 
beginning to come to the conclusion that JAWS 6 is quite a bit of a step 
backward rather than forward.  Some sluggishness still remains with my 
keyboard, I still cannot resolve the Windows Messenger issues with names of 
contacts signing in and not being announced without also having option 12 
JAWS Messages turned on (this was not necessary with JAWS 5.1).  Pages are 
taking much longer to load with JAWS version 6 than they ever did with JAWS 
5.1.  There are just so many issues I have found that I may revert back to 
JAWS 5.1.  I'm willing to wait to see if the ILM version of JAWS version 6 
behaves better than the Quella version of JAWS version 6 I'm now using; but, 
if all of the behavior factors I mentioned above remain the same, I will 
most likely switch back to 5.1.  I'd kind of hate to do that because I'd 
like to believe that FS. always moves forward with progress of this product. 
It does seem to me, however, that, despite the best of advice which I have 
had directly from FS tech support and from others who are very knowledgeable 
about JAWS,  many an issue yet remains with at least the Quella version of 
JAWS 6.  IF the ILM version of JAWS version 6 proves no better, I may revert 
to JAWS version 5.1 upon installing my new hard drive.  I still have a key 
on floppy disk which I could use, however, if I do switch back to JAWS 
version 5.1, would I be better off using the ILM version or just stick with 
the Quella?  If anybody else out there can shed some light on this matter, 
I'd appreciate it very much.

Sincerely Yours,

The Constantly BAREFOOTED
Ray
