I would say it has been a cost but it has been worth it. However, you could
try free screenreaders such as NVDA and see if they meet your needs. On the
Facebook question and your machine heating up, I cannot see that this is
JAWS related. You are, after all , only running your web browser with
Facebook. I think you should be checking for an underlying problem on this
one.

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.

I haven't found any problems with my version of JAWS (12) and Facebook.

I find JAWS causes tons of trouble with other applications. 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)

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 I have plenty of RAM and HD, so presumably my outdated software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?
John.
