Okay, Yardbird. I apologize for not reading your message more carefully and for capitalizing your screen-name incorrectly. How do you use your familiarity with Jaws to make a living? Do you work with computers to provide tech support or something like that? The reason that I am asking this is that I have a friend who has your level of knowledge when it comes to using Jaws effectively. He is a great computer user, but he has had a difficult time finding his nitch in the world of work.
