And, I hate to get in an argument Russell, but your point is?  You 
apparently aren't a Jaws user, or you don't have Jaws set to inform you of 
updates?  Since the release of the first version of Jaws 14 last November, 
there have been five releases that don't coount against your upgrade count. 
There were similar releases for Jaws 13.

Both screen readers have their positive aspects.  I do like the fact I can 
bring Win-Eyes for for that matter, NVDA up in Safe Mode.  I don't know if 
Jaws will incorporate that in the Jaws 15 beta which they will have an 
FsCast on this week.  I do like the convenient OCR feature in Jaws which has 
enabled me to install software that was previously inaccessible at least as 
far as the installation was concerned.

Steve, K8SP
