Hi Peter,
If you select the try before you buy checkbox, you will get rid of those

All the best
Steve

I wouldn't use jaws if you paid me after the nonsence re freedombox. Using
window-eyes, during the installprocess, there seemed to be a series of edit
boxes and even using the mouse keys I couldn't fathom out what they were.
