Hi. In answer to some of your questions, the online System Access to
Go version is always updated, so you don't have to worry about doing
any updating on your end. Also, though SATG is a great access
solution, it is not as feature rich as JAWS. Yes, they do use similar
modifyer keys and some similar keystrokes, but there are spots when
JAWS can offer you more than System Access. I'd encourage you, when
you get hooked up and ready to use it, read some of the documentation
you can access with SATG, specifically regarding keystrokes. I believe
you can even use SATG to access some programs on your computer, but I
don't know the extent of this. For instance, while you may be able to
do some things in Word 2007, you don't have the full range of
features/options available to you as in JAWS. I don't mean to detract
from S.A. to Go, but there are some definite differences between it
and JAWS and other "traditional" screen readers.

Good luck and have fun,
Wayne
