I strongly urge you to buy the SMA if at all possible. I skipped a version and the cost was ridiculous. Don't forget, the more versions you skip, the more money it costs. As freedomscientific told me "just because you didn't upgrade, didn't mean that technology didn't move on."

Alan,

You'll likely wait until you're in a pine box if you hope to get the bugs
out. Cynically speaking (as I'm always reluctant to do) each new version
will have new bugs and some old bugs remaining, ad infinitum .

And in case you're not aware, failure to renew an SMA before a major version
comes out will cost you a whole heck of a lot more money. I'll let other
chime in on their experience. My advice is to purchase the SMA for 12 and 13
and wait for 13. I skipped version 10, for example, as it made me ill.

Dear Kenny,
Thanks very much for that kind offer, but I only have JAWS 11.

I suppose I need to look at getting JAWS 12, but since I do not have any
more SMA's, and I am hoping they will get all the bugs out of that version
before I purchase it, well I will wait a bit more!
Besides, I understand that the  "virtual ribbon" is not a total "fix", it
only helps out a bit, is that correct?

Wow, I have been using the JAWS Menu bars since 1999, with JAWS 3.3!

And although I feel I am making a little progress getting the hang of it, I
see it will be a slow learning curb!
A completely different thing!

Thanks again!

With Best Regards,
Alan

Hi allan The virtual ribbon is a jaws 12 feature. To turn it on in jaws 12 You go to the setttings center. If you like I can connect to your computer
through jaws tandom and activate the feature for you.
