Hi, I am thinking the same. I have been a bit disheartened of the latest upgrades, especially from version 6 to 7. The problem is that when a new version of Windows comes out, I would have to upgrade then to the latest version of Jaws, which is a costly exercise.

I prefer the Kurzweil system where you can upgrade to the latest version, even if you have missed the last few upgrades. I am sure more of us would upgrade using that system. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of TIDDYogg Sent: 20 May 2006 08:20 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: THOUGHTS ON JAWS UPGRADES I'll go along with Ron. I had Jaws 3.0 and at that time they were screwing you with 4 upgrades in a year, so that's where I stopped for a long time. When I eventually jumped to ver 5.0 I noticed a big difference, but nothing since then has changed much for me, so if 4.5 does what you want, stick with it. ron sears wrote: > Hello Tom, I stopped at 4.51.
