Dear Amie et al:

As the present topic of discussion pertains to Sonar and other
audio production tools, may I respectfully request that each
contributor to this thread take a moment while composing their
reply to amend the subject field to a more highly descriptive one
of their message body.  Also, summarizing the previous messages
in the thread instead of quoting them verbatim back to the year
DOT would be nice and I believe is a rule of this list. 
 
Finally, as this is the JAWS-UK list, with a stated topic of the
use of JAWS, unless your discussion of audio production software
relates to how it is used with JAWS, then alas your thread is
off-topic here and is better discussed elsewhere, such as the
BCAB list.

I have retained the message I am replying to, and deleted the 17
messages preceding it. 
Oh, discussions of the staffing level at the UK distributor of
JAWS and other Freedom Scientific products is also off-topic for
this list.

In answer to Marvin Hunkin's original query about the need for
and cost of JAWS Professional, you require JAWS Professional if
you are running a version of Windows on your PC that doesn't have
the word "Home" in its name.  Application software should not
require a Professional version of JAWS.  Regarding the upgrade
price, it costs what it costs in Australia and if you don't like
it, you can get an American friend to order the upgrade for you
then mail it to you.  But if you do this, don't ask the
distributor in Australia for any tech support as they won't get a
red cent from your purchase.  This is known as Grey Marketing.

As to whether you must buy an SMA at the time of upgrade, no you
don't, but you do need to pay the price to upgrade any unused SMA
from Standard to Professional if you upgrade your JAWS.

The question as to whether all Access Tech for the Blind is a
rip-off is beyond the scope of this list and also off-topic as is
the comparison of the Apple MAC VS. the PC.
And for Heaven's sake, please spell-check, proofread and correct
your off-topic posts as well as your on-topic posts!

Brian

Consensus certainly is that Sonar is best for access.  My trouble
is need to work closely with mainstreamers who don't use Sonar at
all.  Haven't heard of any serious users doing well with
ProTools, but this thread might yet yield some...

I'm certainly not dissing Sonar, in case anyone thought I was.
