I like Brian too. Basically what he offers are bundles of scripts. One problem with his approach is that whenever there is a new version of JAWS these scripts are often broken and the user has to wait for him to update them. His stuff does work, and I do not begrudge him charging for his work, as script writing takes time and effort.

Flor, I like Brian, however I find he charges a lot for what he develops. I repeat my earlier question, how much is it?
