There is a sneaky game which Freedom Scientific play where they try to
persuade you to purchase an SMA. Using this process you will get rights to
upgrade to 2 versions of Jaws for pretty much the price you are currently
having to pay for the single price you are now being quoted.
The catch is that you have to purchase this by a deadline to get the SMA price
and you have to have the current version of Jaws already to qualify for the SMA
scheme. Basically as soon as Jaws goes into beta for the next version it is
worth renewing your SMA if you want to stay in the scheme.
This wis why the upgrade price offered by FS during Summer Exhibitions is not
such a good deal as you might imagine as it of course only kept you current
for a few months and you will then need to purchase an SMA if you want to keep
current without paying the full upgrade price.
I an an reluctant payer of an SMA and I think there are many others. It
appears that Jaws is still the primary cscreenreader according to he survey
results distributed on this list a few days ago.

Hi List,
I had to call Sight and Sound to enquire about an unrelated issue and while
I was there I asked what the price is to upgrade from jaws 17 to the latest
18. I learned that the price is now £150. I believe that at Sight Village
that the upgrade was being sold for £99.
All I can say is that I wont be purchasing jaws 18 I might just donate money
to NVDA development.
What an absolutely bare faced rip off.
