Gordon,

It all depends where you intend to use JAWS. If you are a simple end user and 
only require the CD to install on one machine, then you can go down that route 
and activate your CD key via the Internet.

Enterprise environments prefer to go down the dongle route which means you can 
then use the dongle on any machine and not worry about installing certificates 
etc.  I think it is very old hat too, but there you go.

I live in fear of losing my JAWS dongle.

Love it or hate it, you can't argue how well JAWS and Office work together.  I 
really wish I could be as productive in an Office way on my Mac.
