Re: putting Jaws in the system tray?

JAWS in the system tray accomplishes one thing, and one thing only, which 
is exactly what bruce already stated on the matter. It gets the program out 
of your way so you're not bypassing it when alt-tabbing between 
applications. In effect, it helps you to use the computer more seemlessly. 
JFW is still active, and still accessible, however it's only accessible if 
and when you want it to be. I, personally, prefer my JFW running in the 
system tray. When I want to do something in the program itself, it takes 
half a second to call up the menu. Otherwise, I'd rather not end up there 
accidentally. And, of course, there's the fact that I'd really like every 
program to have the option to minimise to the system tray so it can be 
accessed when it's needed instead of accidentally, but that's just me.
