The glitch that's driving me nuts is when an Internet app freezes, paralyzing your entire screen. When you finally shake it loose, you lose every open Internet session--what a drag! Except for Office and one old reliable mainframe app, everything we do is done online.

Cc: Soronel Haetir Subject: Re: a problem I'm having I've tried WE a couple times and found pretty much the same thing. Part of it is, I believe, simply being used to jaws and the way it does things but even with a jaws keymap active it was still enough different that I kept stumbling. Plus there are certainly things where WE simply is not as capable, things that matter a great deal to me, the dictionary being the major item. WE dictionary entries simply could not deal with numerous punctuation sequences I use all the time. I will admit that the WE scripting system is vastly better than jaws' home built language but writing scripts is something I only rarely need to do and now that jaws supports UIA even that difference isn't all that important. As for jaws and crashing I find the current situation with auto restart far preferable to what it did up until a few years ago where jaws crashing would very often freeze my entire system and a reboot was the only way to recover. Waiting thirty seconds to a minute is way better than wasting five plus minutes going through a reboot (plus losing all unsaved work).
