hi there guys hal is a cut down version of jaws basically and cheaper. its designed slightly differently to jaws and aimed at the more general user and students. supernova is both magnification and speach with the addition of braille included with hal. all of these titles are made by dolphin systems. do forgive me for this but does anyone have a version spare. preferably 6.5 of either hal or supernova. any laptop parts such as a spare hard drive (2.5" or any memory or anything they are willing to part with. lew
