I'm unclear about something. Some folks are saying, as I hear with every new 
release and update, that if you don't like the way the update works for you, 
you can always go back to the previous build.

Well, of course if I don't care for Jaws 9 at all, I can always remove it 
from the startup group by unchecking that item in the options menu, then go 
back to using Jaws 8 if it's still on my hard drive.

But when you update to a new build, rather than a full new version, doesn't 
the update process modify and overwrite your program so you have nothing to 
go back to unless you reinstall Jaws 9 from the CD or maybe do that famous 
system restore I've never performed?

Thanks to anyone who can clarify this. Yes, I'm asking because I'm 
hesitating to take the update. From the list of additions and bug fixes I've 
seen in a couple of email posts from FS, it doesn't sound as if any of the 
problems I have with jaws 9 and have reported have been addressed at all. So 
the only reason I'd install the update would be because next time I need 
tech support, they'll insist that I be running the latest build.


Thanks again.
