I personally find jaws 12 a lot less responsive than previous versions, especially in MS Word when proofing and editing. I've always got jaws 10, 11 and 12 on my ssystem because of this.

However, if you have an old version of Jaws, you have to pay for any upgrades you missed, but you would still have to do that without an SMA. You cannot go from version 10 to version 12, you have to pay for 11 and then 12. It is nothing to do with defragmenting or disc clean up. Is it worth upgrading? That is debateable. I personally don't use all the new things Jaws can do, but there is usually at least one new aspect that is good to have. Hope this is of help.

What can be done, other than regular defragging, which I do anyway? More thanks; you remain my hero.

I think you should try and argue for ATW to pay for an SMA.

What's the usual timescale for release, following prelaunch promo? I guess, and hope that, once ATW agree to fund it,I can wait a little while, to see if it's working. Any off-the-record reports yet? Thanks for the post.

I still feel like i haven't had 10 for 5 minutes. Don't want to be a stick in the mud, but am slightly nervous of yet more changes. Wonder, what do you all make of 13? How is it working? What's it like? Thanks for any tips.
