Very well, Bruce. But in this case, it would help for someone to explain,
then, just when it is that Jaws doesn't offer a user interface during the
startup process, if not showing an interface is actually part of the
definition of what a service is.
Because once the computer is booted, Jaws certainly does have an interface.
Again, a bit of clarification here would be appreciated. I don't think this
should require a Google search. I think just one, coherent, comprehensive
explanation by a knowledgeable person would be sufficient. Not an
encyclopedic entry among pages of Google hits. I know I'd be one
appreciative list subscriber if that kind of information were offered when
someone knows it.Thanks,
Daniel
