Hi Jeff,

I came to windows 7 kicking and moaning but after a few false starts it 
started to make sense
Fortunately I can now flip between using and xp operating system and windows 
7.
Stick with it.
Try the blind geek zone for some tutorials.  They're a wee bit on the 
ponderous side but worth a listen.

    Jaws has a lot of features that are not needed/used by the average user, 
but they're there for power (supposedly) if you're interested enough to put 
in the time.  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.
