[Blindtlk] JAWS and Yahoo! Answers

[Gary Wunder]

Keep in mind that Jaws 8 is 3 releases behind the current version and that 
means lots of changes on the web and in updated versions of web browsers are 
being missed. Keeping up to date is an expensive and irritating problem. We 
all want to think that when we've purchased something it is ours, but 
software is probably best thought of as something you rent or perhaps it is 
a house which is yours but which requires frequent maintenance.
