My first version of Jaws was 3.5 and there was no one around here knowledgeable about it. I found that if I really concentrated, much could be learned from the six-tape tutorial. Later I learned more about Windows from other places and tutorials specifically for that. The tutorial tapes were a good starting place, especially for someone like me, who new absolutely nothing about computers. And the reason I chose Jaws back then was partly because, when I was researching to know what to use, I called both what is now Freedomscientific and the major competing screen reader software company. That one told me they would be happy to send me a demo disk and a lot of paper work. As a brand new computer user, I hadn't a clue what to do with the disk and had no way to read the paper work at that time. People at FS sent me a sample cassette, which was actually a part of the tutorial, and some general info in braille. These were a big help in making my decision. I have no regrets, even though I complain sometimes.
