Saqib,
Yes, one day I will do just that because honestly I’m at the end of my tether.
We pay through the nose for access, but what is worse is the endless stream of
problems which come up all the time. And we have to keep up with all the
changes of Windows, applications etc. it's like running an endless marathon.

Hi. I’ve bought a Mac now so won’t ever have to pay for a screenreader again.
It’s good to see that the price of Jaws has been reduced dramatically even if
it is going to be short lived.

OK, anyone who's been good with Jaws and now uses NVDA want to give me a bit
of a tutoriaol. Yes, probably do want it (somewhat) on the plate but haven't
got the drive or time right now to work through all the HELP myself. <Smiles>

Well, I do use it sometimes, but don't get onto well with it. I suppose
it's all practice and playing around and I really don't want to change!

What? So manny companies are doing this "cheaper online" now. Who wants to
spend the fare from a distance, then have all the hassles and return in one day
if you don't know if you really want to see anything. We had thought of going
but, as we've seen and heard about a couple of items and have shelved them
((maybe for ever), we're not really needing to go!
Oh, I can imagine how you feel.
I wonder if we all will ending up paying for another screen reader, with
some of the best of both Jaws and WindowEyes soon and they know something ...
but perhaps not. Perhaps they just have a stock of licences they're not
shifting, or they just want some money in the kitty! <Smiles>
