So do you reckon that the current version was, with hindsight, worth the upgrade? Is JAWS actually better now than it was in previous versions? Thanks as always.

It hates Facebook so much that my laptop starts to smell, it gets so hot, if I stay on FB for more than a few minutes. I have a pretty high-spec computer but still JAWS crashes and freezes it often several times a day. All I ask from the newer versions is that they get nearer to the standards of stability people demand from mainstream programs. I upgraded to 10 in 08, I think (whenever it was new, anyway). Before that I was still on 5! The past is such a pleasant place to live, don't you think? :o) A -----Original Message----- From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John SAVAGE Sent: 11 July 2011 10:32 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: JAWS 13 There are bound to be bugs at first, there always are. Can't imagine why people rush to download a new release as soon as it comes out. Amie, if you think you're stuck in the past, I'm still on JAWS 7 and IE 6! There are an increasing number of sites where my computer freezes when I go onto them. I have plenty of RAM and HD, so presumably my outdated software causes the freezing? Clearly I need to upgrade soon. Will later versions of JAWS still work with Word 2003? I hope I won't have to convert all my Word files to a later format. How about OE 6? Would I need to upgrade that?
