I wasn't whining! I am looking for answers. Before I wrote to the list I 
didn't have a clue that flash could be the problem, but thanks to people on 
the list I have an idea now of what is probably causing the problem. I don't 
think this next part is whining, just an observation. If gwmocro can make 
their screen reader work with flash then why can't fs make jaws work 
flawlessly with jaws? YOu want to hear whining I can certainly start sending 
posts with wining in them. This list is here to help, and look for answers, 
and maybe just maybe to make the right people aware of things. I am someone 
who wants to know the whys of things if possible. Perfect example why I am 
having a problem with certain webpages when I know that spyware and viruses 
aren't the answer. Please! why not be more helpful instead of writing a 
negative post.
