Well stated!!! I've been stating the same for three plus years, since I've
been using a computer via JAWS. Especially with some of the most used
programs - e.g. MS Office, there are too many hoops that need jumping
through by blind users.
Maybe my expectations for JAWS and computers alike have been a bit too much,
but for the costs involved in buying and maintaining these products, why
not?
Regards,
Cornell

I just went to take a windows update and they have changed their site and
will ask you to take the download so you can get your updates. This is to
let you know that if you are using JAWS 6 in any version you will need to
use the jaws cursor in order to have the correct screen read to you. If you
keep it on the virtual cursor it will only read to you the previous screen.
Further if you use the virtual cursor you will not be able to click on the
links. This problem has been brought to the attention of Freedom Scientific
in the past and they have done nothing about it and likely won't.
Those of you who have JAWS 5 will be able to navigate the site without any
problem and you will not have to use the jaws cursor.
While some updates were made to JAWS in version 6 there were some things
done that limit access to many sites and often times they are things that
people need. JAWS is suppose to be Job Access With Speech. I do believe that
anyone using the internet to do their work will find some things very
difficult to navigate.
