I like the jaws reader but not enough to spend the $80 for it when there's
another program like the one Dave mentions that's free.

Dave,

thanks again. the home page has moved, but there's a link on the page you 
provide a link to that takes you to the new site. Also, the name of the 
program is
AMIS (Adaptive Multimedia Information System). Maybe it was Ami, pronounced 
like the French word for "friend," once, but now it actually is spelled like

that and Jaws, bless its eloquent heart, says Amos, as in Amos 'n' Andy. 
Boy, is that politically incorrect to reference, for anyone who either 
remembers the show for real, as I do, or is an OTR-head.

Anyway, I'll be looking into it so that I can take fuller advantage of the 
reading options that are available.

Joel
