Hi Tom;
Being stuck with JAWS is not so bad.
I tried Window for a while and, I guess it's what your use to.
I have been using JAWS since 1997.
It has it's faults and, Window doesn't do as much as JAWS does.
As far as the MAC is concerned, I owned a MAC for a few months and it really has a long way to go to catch up to JAWS, let alone Window.
Think about it long and hard.

Yeah, Bob, I hear you.
Unfortunately, for the time being, I think I'm stuck with Jaws, since that's
what Ferris State University is using.
But, I too think that, when I retire (which hopefully won't be too many
years away), I'll go to something like Window Eyes. ... I've even thought of
switching to a mac, since I've heard many times that they are so much less
suceptible to viruses and the like.
For though, now, due to my work situation and the need to transfer work back
and forth between computers, I'm probably stuck with Jaws and Windows.
