Dear Friends,
My computer is still not the way it was, after the complete reinstall of
my Windows XP by that A T and T "In-Home" Technician so a friend who
really knows a lot about JAWS and computers offered to do a jaws tandem
with me to see what he could do to improve things.
I never did this before.
Is there any chance of messing things up on my computer when we do this?
I mean, can we make things worse?
I told you I was a "scaredie Cat" when it comes to my computer!
LOL!
I mean, things are working, but not like it took me 3 years to get things
set up.
Should I just forget it, and go with what I have now, or take his offer to
do the jaws tandem thing?
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks.
With Best Regards,
Alan

OK. I'll admit I haven't read the entire thread, but I love the jaws
tandem
feature. Yes you can use teamviewer instead of jaws tandem, but the other
person also have to have a support module installed on their computer as
well.

You'll be back to JAWS as surely as the swallows return to Capestrano.
Why?
Because of its Tandem feature which you couldn't stop raving about. Try
accessing someone else's computer remotely with the open source screen
reader and see how far you get.

Hello all.
I will publicly state why I am refusing to use JAWS. It is Freedom
Scientific's attitude towards pricing and their license schemes. Some
of
us can't or won't afford to buy JAWS, especially if the free one is
just
as good as JAWS. As for the license scheme, the user is punished to
license JAWS on up to three machines. With the free and even other
commercial screen readers one can install on as many computers as they
have so long as one machine is used at a time, no questions asked.
With
JAWS, once all three authorizations have been used they would then
have
to request FS for more keys. Eventually and I will say eventually they
will refuse flat and get paranoid about people sharing authorization
keys. I understand piracy and all that and I certainly don't commit to
any of that stuff however at the same time FS is just asking for money
and not caring about the customer. True there is a dongle option, but
even they can have their fair share of problems. Now for the
technical,
I
do find the free one to be actually more stable and even works with
more applications than JAWS. You may find this shocking but this is
true
according to my personal experience.
Sorry for the rant but you did suggest I state publicly my reasons. So
there you go.
Take care.
