Where there's life there is hope, Someone out there may be listening and will
come up with an answer, but don't hold your breath.

Hi Mike, that is very disappointing news. I applied two years ago for an
update and when I phoned they told me I was on the list. As you were told I am
over the age limit. Perhaps I am living in a fools paradise thinking my update
will come soon. Jaws 3.7 has served me well, but after five years an update or
two or three must be due. Kind regards, Maureen Murray.

Hello listers,
I bought a new Computer and decided to enquire about getting help from the
pool of aids, first to find out that someone had registered my version of Jaws.
I asked then was it true that if you were over 65 you were out, and was
told to contact my local office, I did that to discover it was true. But it was
the fault of the health board. I rang and was told first they never heard of
JAWS or any software for the blind, and if I had purchased it I wouldn't get a
refund. And if they could give me one I'd have to have a medical Card, but I
wouldn't get that till I was 70.
I am very annoyed over this because I know there are many members and non
members out there who are working with versions of Jaws that are ancient and
many of them would not be able to afford 1171.65 Euro for the latest version.
I would like if Vics could bring this up at their next AGM and find out
where the problem lies.
I have been on this list for years and hear members who are working
discussing their new version of JAWS, Can you imagine how the other people with
out of date versions feel.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
If I wanted a zimmer frame or a commode I'd also have to have a medical
card.
I must try to stay healthy and mobile.
Mike.
