LOL! Perhaps these are features of the demo.

I don't know if anybody else has noticed, but when I used to use JAWS in demo mode, it's performance isn't as good as when activated. It takes longer, quite a bit longer to start up prior to me activating JAWS, and seems to have glitches which disappear once activated. Personally, I think JAWS 9 is a big improvement and I love the new features. Peter -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of J. Black Sent: 27 October 2007 10:21 To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: the new jaws 9, how is it? I did not download the new 9. I am waiting to see what others say. I see many comments, not all that many problems. It seems like a winner from here. However, I guess, is it an upgrade from 8 enough to buy it? Or, is it the final answer to vista to work super good with the new windows? Here's my experience quickly. I bought vista using the new jaws beta. Vista worked so slowly, it seemed like it was running in paragraph mode. it was too slow to use honestly. I was bummed. I see nothing about sluggishness on the list? does anyone really see any sluggishness? I see no reason to move ahead unless it works as quickly as xp pro did. I like x p pro. yes, few games, gadgets etc on vista. sort to apprehensive to do it because of my experience. I had a xps 1710m, with 2 gigs memory, fairly nice cpu. barely worked fast enough to listen to it. this was march April of this year. any thoughts? thanks, Julian -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
