You folks ever compare how fast Jaws 5.0 loads when contrasted with later versions? With each successive version, loading time has increased, understandably I suppose given the extra features crammed into each new program. The problems for me remain how genuinely useful most of these later features are to most of us and the number of long-existing bugs that Freedom developers must leave aside to meet the insaciable demands of investors who want a bigger bang for their buck. I, for one, long-time user of Jaws as I am, have have purchased my last SMA: too little return onn my investment. This is what occurs when the production of screen readers become a part of high finance.
