Correct that, it should have been two countries. We get the same prices for 10 
days on thee UK dealer’s web shop. From 18 to 28 July, I believe it is. So if 
you’re looking for something from Freedom and its associates and you’re in the 
UK, go grab yourself a bargain at http://www.sightandsound.co.uk 
<http://www.sightandsound.co.uk/> when the time is right.

Thanks for that suggestion and yes, I will double-check.

The only other thing I can say at this point is that there ought to be 
an International World Wide bann or law on citizen's in one part of the 
world making others in another country jealous .

In the UK Sight and Sound are also offering these reduced FS prices online from 
July 10th to July 24th if I recall correctly.

I think this was introduced after complaints from those unable to visit the

Debbie!

I wonder what you think of this and I'm sure you have a view given 
you're as into technology as I am.


If what I'm hearing is anything to go by a lot of people - being sick 
and tired of forever paying upgrade costs for JAWS, this, that and the 
other - are giving JAWS the shove and just using NVDA.


NVDA is - without a doubt - an incredible product and very functional - 
even more incredible given its available free of charge -.


A lot of folks seem to be of the opinion that NVDA does what I want so 
why should I bother even using JAWS etc.


It also seems that a lot of those who were users of Window-Eyes won't be 
making the migration to JAWS choosing to use NVDA instead, have you 
noticed any particular trends here?
