In my experience Jaws six is more stable, this is not exactly a feature =
but certainly a substantial convenience and something the consumer =
should expect particularly for the price. I still keep a copy of 3.7 =
around, that one was also very reliable.
Now before anyone gets really excited I admit right up front that I have =
no bench mark tests that this is only a subjective analysis and I won't =
say I am fully happy either, having to unload and reload frequently to =
restore functionality when keystrokes fail to function or bits refuse to =
read but it seems to be better than version 5 for that.
