Some sluggishness still remains with my keyboard, I still cannot resolve the Windows Messenger issues with names of contacts signing in and not being announced without also having option 12 JAWS Messages turned on (this was not necessary with JAWS 5.1). Pages are taking much longer to load with JAWS version 6 than they ever did with JAWS 5.1. There are just so many issues I have found that I may revert back to JAWS 5.1. I'm willing to wait to see if the ILM version of JAWS version 6 behaves better than the Quella version of JAWS version 6 I'm now using; but, if all of the behavior factors I mentioned above remain the same, I will most likely switch back to 5.1. I'd kind of hate to do that because I'd like to believe that FS. always moves forward with progress of this product. It does seem to me, however, that, despite the best of advice which I have had directly from FS tech support and from others who are very knowledgeable about JAWS, many an issue yet remains with at least the Quella version of JAWS 6. IF the ILM version of JAWS version 6 proves no better, I may revert to JAWS version 5.1 upon installing my new hard drive. I still have a key on floppy disk which I could use, however, if I do switch back to JAWS version 5.1, would I be better off using the ILM version or just stick with the Quella? If anybody else out there can shed some light on this matter, I'd appreciate it very much.
