Hi Jack.
My current screen reader is JAWS 6. It will cost me £190 to upgrade to JAWS
8, but God knows how much it would be to get JAWS 8 Professional. Moving
onto WindowEyes, is I believe, £602, so perhaps I'm only talking about a
difference of £200 or less.
I never purchased JAWS 7. I'd be going from 6 to 8 for almost £200.
Apparently, so I've been told, that I'm paying for version 7. This is a
rip-off and it has been happening since I was on JAWS 3.5.
As for your last point about the learning curve. I'm 53 years old now and
my memory is as highly tuned as one of my hens. I do find retaining
complicated information very difficult these days, perhaps a result of all
the beer I take over the weekends. To make matters worse, I'd need also to
learn how to use the Windows Media Center. However, I could keep my old
computer for the stuff that I need to do quickly and spend some time each
evening on the new computer. - A bright light just went off in my head!
Very best wishes.
Andy
