I learned my first jaws, 3.5 with the tutorial tape. I had a person that came and taught me what I couldn't pick up form the tape (don't laugh too hard you guys!) but basically I taught myself with the tapes. With this new edition, 5.1 I listened a bit to the cd's that came tith the software but couldn't pick up all that much. In my particular community there are not jaws resource people as there are in other communities and I would sure like to see someone employ them.
