You must have had a problem with it or you wouldn't have asked 'so what?' Gene...

No, I cannot claim to be savy enough to get myself out of a jam. No, I do not have a problem with that. I am not going to comment any further.

Hi all. I had no trouble downloading and installing the latest Jaws update. I have been using Eloquence since I migrated from Window-eyes to Jaws. Eloquence guided me through the download and

Thanks everyone. I downloaded the update via Freedom Scientific's website.
