Windows, Jaws And Dongle!

Hello everybody OK, I am now in temporary possession of a dongle which will, I hope, allow me to use Jaws indefinitely throughout the period of three weeks for which I have the dongle. But here's my question, and I want to get it right first time. I've been told that, if I download the demo

drive version of Jaws on one port and the dongle on the other making for a completely portable solution. I don't know if you'll need that type of portability though. Clifford - Original Message - From: Gordon Smith gor...@mac-access.net To: Techno-Chat ... Technology Enthusiasm! techno-chat

Downloading Jaws 13 Demo

2012-08-03 Thread Gordon Smith
Hi all Is anybody else able to check the Freedom Scientific website for me please? The Jaws demo links just don't seem to work. I need the 64-bit demo yesterday because the countdown is on, I only have this dongle for 3 weeks and in that time I need to become fully proficient with Jaws.
