There is usually a period during which if you buy a version of the software 
you get the new version free.  This used to be the case with JAWS as clearly 
it is unfair if you buy JAWS and a new version is released the next week. 
Find out about this from sight and sound.  Maybe someone else here knows if 
Freedom Scientific still operate this policy.

Cheers

Graham

And what's the score if ATW buys you a piece of equipment and four weeks
after it arrives, before you've even had the chance to getit out of the box,
it is obsolete as another version comes out???!
