Hi Tony: I am not pulling the plug on Window-eyes just yet. It works well for me, and when it doesn't, I have played with JAWS enough to know that it seems to have improved from years ago. The only thing is that I do not feel justified in paying all that money for JAWS when NVDA is free and works well for my purposes. I, for one, can't wait to hear that announcement that Doug will make with in the nest few month, even though it may not be anything to jump up and down about. Kevin Huber
