Johnnie, *smile* I do have the Pro versions already. Now I feel like a dufuss not having looked at Jaws help files, the first rule when it comes to questions. I do it with other apps, why not Jaws... I don't know. Thanks for the confirm on the 8600. I'm not thrilled about the lack of an actual sound card, but it will be a secondary mobile computer and not necessarily one I might do audio editing and etc. on. Thanks again ah, Johnnie Brad At 11:00 AM 11/20/2004 -0500, you wrote: >The audio will be fine. You will of course need to be authorized to run >jaws pro with xp pro on that system.
