[gui-talk] Latest Jaws update. Worththe botherto downloadand install?

Thu Jun 18 14:38:34 UTC 2009

I have never been informed that there are security codes included as part of 
Jaws. So this is what he meant. Each release of Jaws shields your computer 
from terrible harm. Thank you I never knew because FS does not say anything 
about it. Top secret.

Jaws updates include to security fixes.  It was Chris who illuded to that.
However, no update has ever hindered the running of a computer running up to
date software.

Well, I never messed up my Jaws or my computer by installing an update. But
I remember people here and on the JFW list complaining that the updates
crippled their systems. And now Chris and you are saying that, although FS
doesn't tell us, each update contains vital security patches without which
we'll be ruined by bots and viruses.

So hard to know what's right. Sometimes I think unsubbing from the JFW list
might be helpful in lowering my paranoia level, though. Something for me to
think about. Just half kidding, sad to admit.

They do say so.  This is a relatively minor patch.  Auto update has never
screwed up anyone's jaws.  For a multiplicity of reasons people don't
install updates properly and have problems.

Al,
Then why do people say the auto update feature screws up their jaws? And if
FS is adding more than just two bug fixes with a release like this, why
don't they say so and even brag about what they're giving you? Don't you
see? It's not there. Now I'm supposed to take it on faith from you. good
thing I consider you a trusted friend!

All jaws updates are worth the bother to install.  They are to fix things
that are wrong with the present version or to add important features.  It's
very easy to use the update feature so installing the update won't take
anyone more than a few minutes.  Try to remember Freedom Scientific doesn't
put these out for no reason.

I've just been to the FS page where they talk about the bug fixes and
improvements in succeeding releases/builds of Jaws 10, and the two things
below are all that seems is new this time around. let's be practical,
though. If I don't bother to install this update, will having failed to do
so cause me some trouble later when another update is posted, or when it's
time for me to install Jaws 11? I don't want to inconvenience myself like
that, but still I'm leery of dutifully installing each new update without
question when I hear someone complain that doing so screwed them up in some
way. Here are the only two items I found that look like changes in this new
build, and neither of these things is of any use to me:

a.. Resolved an issue where JAWS would not properly read the playlist window

in the latest iTunesR 8 automatic update.
a.. Resolved a reported issue with how JAWS worked with the Track Changes
feature in Word. Speech and braille were not working correctly for any
markups once the view was set to Final.
any comments from anybody who's already installed this build? Personally, I
always download from the site, and never use the update feature on the Help
menu. I've heard too many people say it doesn't work well for them, and I
feel safer just doing it myself. Don't want to get into an argument about
this if there are several passionate opinions. thanks for understanding.
civility is everything.
