Well I do have one, albeit not a current one, so I can't take advantage of
this. It's still back in 8.4. But for some reason I'm unable to download a
demo of JFW to see if I can justify scraping together the funds for it. I've
tried with both IE and Firefox and the download gets to a certain point,
usually one where it still says 0 percent downloaded, and just stops there
for a while before failing.
Focus your powers and prepare for buttle.

Bryan, it's too bad you feel this way. I think that perhaps you are
associating Jaws with Freedom Scientific, meaning that if there were
things that Freedom Scientific did, not VFO, you might be thinking that
all the same bad experiences may happen again, or continue to happen. In
any case, it's not FS, (Freedom Scientific) who is giving out free
copies of Jaws. So, you are right about that. It's VFO who is doing
this. can tell you that this is no scam. If you hold a retail license of
Window-Eyes, you will get a license for Jaws. Maybe you think that the
folks from the former GW Micro / Ai Squared are lying? I don't think so.

I'm not altogether optimistic about the future of Window-Eyes, but at the
same time I'm not going to stop using it unless I absolutely have to. As
for this supposed offer of free copies of JFW for WE users I'm pretty sure
it's a scam. I have a hard time imagining FS giving anyone free copies of
JAWS under any circumstances. As for which screen reader I might switch to
it probably wouldn't be JAWS, partly because I can't seem to download a
demo of the latest version to try before I buy, but also because it's an
absolute resource hog. I remember that from the twelve years I used it
before switching to WE.
