Hi; I am still using 6.? at home. I have 7.1 at work and found that for some of their strange programs had to fall back to 6.0 With the price of updates I've become skeptical of updating for the sake of updating. Unfortunately, if the thing gets to old it becomes worthless but I haven't seen much that makes me jump up and down and want to buy. I have both window eyes and jaws and at some time or other updating both will become just to expensive. Window eyes officially makes you buy all the updates from what you currently have to the one you want but they intentionally or unintentionally forgot when I was updating to 5.0 One can't help but wonder if some updates come out just to use up the sma faster. I know, I'm a skeptic not only with jfw but with adaptive companies in general. Rich
