Well, that's encouraging.

I use Jaws 13 with Windows XP on this computer, so if you have any helpful 
tips for doing call sign searches and such, please pass them along.

For one thing, it seems as though there are two search engines now on QRZ. 
One is a google type, and the other is QRZ itself.

I often seem to have trouble finding the QRZ search.

In addition, for a given call sign, there are tabs such as biography, 
details, and log a contact with. ... When I locate and hit enter or the 
space bar on any of those tab fields, I often get nothing, or get a tab 
field I do not want.
