Stick with it. Try the blind geek zone for some tutorials. They're a wee bit on the ponderous side but worth a listen.

In other words, you don't have to learn all, just what you need for your tasks. I think any screen reader is a fair learning curve if you're going to get the best out of it and not just make it around the screen, if you know what I mean. Why don't you try the Jaws demo which I think is for 60 days? (Someone will correct me if this is not the case.) This should give you a good feeling about Jaws and what's involved in the learning curve.
