Hello andrew,
I agree about the sound card issues. One work around that I often use is to
take an older sound card with me in my kit bag, one that I know that Microsoft
Windows will pick up then install that in to the machine if required to get
things started.
Steve.

Hi,
I realise this, I was just compairing like with like, because in the current
state with JFW or WE you would also need DCM.
In the real world there is also the issue of sound cards being disabled or
having to get the volume turned up on them etc. I speak as a student who comes
into a computer lab and has taken ages to get it running because they have to
get the sound on, which is quite often not possible with no sight.
Andrew.

Hi Andrew,
I wouldn't describe it as seamlessly with Dolphin. You still have to install
the DCM component, and for that, you need admin rights. How many Internet
cafes are going to give you admin rights, so you can install DCM to their
computers?
All the best

Hi,
On newer versions of JFW you would have an issue with the location of the
stored files for JFW. Unless you put the stored files on a pen, it wouldn't
work, because the files would get stored in the profile location within
c:\documents and settings\username, and are not saved to the pen on exit. If
you were on a network with roming profiles, it would work, but rather defeating
the point of the pen.
No, there are actual modifications to the Supernova program in order to get
the pen working, which is why it works seemlessly with the Dolphin product.
Andrew.

Noticed that Dolphin are trumpeting their pens. I've put JFW on a pen and
used it on another PC successfully. Can't remember whether it was in demo mode
or not, but it was OK. Have others done this? It would presumably work for
Dolphin stuff too without the key!
