You folks can stop replying to Chris because unless somebody forwards him
the message he is not going to get it at all. Like I said this thread is
done, thank you.

I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I'll probably screw that one up
too.

That is your opinion, and everyone has one. But with my personal
experience, the only screen reader that can come close to what jaws can do
is voice over. JMO

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Why I am not going to use JAWS
Hello all.
I will publicly state why I am refusing to use JAWS. It is Freedom
Scientific's attitude towards pricing and their license schemes. Some of
us
can't or won't afford to buy JAWS, especially if the free one is just as
good as JAWS. As for the license scheme, the user is punished to license
JAWS on up to three machines. With the free and even other commercial
screen
readers one can install on as many computers as they have so long as one
machine is used at a time, no questions asked. With JAWS, once all three
authorizations have been used they would then have to request FS for more
keys. Eventually and I will say eventually they will refuse flat and get
paranoid about people sharing authorization keys. I understand piracy and
all that and I certainly don't commit to any of that stuff however at the
same time FS is just asking for money and not caring about the customer.
True there is a dongle option, but even they can have their fair share of
problems. Now for the technical, I do find the free one to be actually
more
stable and even works with more applications than JAWS. You may find this
shocking but this is true according to my personal experience.
Take care.
