I had window eyes on an old windows 3.1 computer but jaws ever since 1998.
No, I don't currently have any windows 3.1 computers around here that I know
of, at least one of everything else though in the piles. Not that I can even
afford a new version of office but I'd doubt if I'd have much fun trying to
learn a new screen reader at this point, I'm a little behind on my jaws SMA
as well due to finances. I know I tried NVDA and couldn't begin to figure it
out or stand it though it is on one computer for if needed but that's more
of a server anyway so I almost never do anything but let that one run on
it's own until I replace with my preferred setup if I ever make that happen.
I suppose if I ever upgrade office I may give window eyes a shot but FS is
going to have to counter with something now and who knows what that will end
up being.
