hmm, my point of view for this issue is, FS has add more features and add more new scripts for supporting more programs but not the stability of the program, this is compare between jaws 6.x and 7.0. hth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vaughan Dodd" <vdodd@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2006 13:57 Subject: Re: updating JFW Install version seven: you have paid for it - or at least someone has, and it is more stable, but by no means perfect. The types of problems with Jaws are so various across different machines that it is hard to know what to do in these situations, but version seven is an improvement on six. Perhaps a more useful approach is to ask yourself why you need to have two screen readers? There is luxury in having the choice, and I have that choice, so evaluate what you need to do and then decide which screen reader does most thingns better. Vaughan.
