Re Pro vs. Home versions of JAWS

When I asked FS this same question, I was told that the Home version would
work only with 32 bit processors, while the Pro version will work with
either 32 or 64 bit processors. Thus, if you have a 64 bit processor, you
have no choice.

 Hi Ed,
The saleperson that I talked to at FS said that there wasn't much of a
difference with JAWS for the PRO version and the Home version.  She said it
was compatability. So  they can charge more?  Gary KB2YAA
