[nabs-l] JAWS question, please help

[David Andrews]

Marsha:  Having used both I can assure you that Windows 7 is better 
than Vista.  It is somewhat different from XP, but usable.  If and 
when you get a new computer you will have to move from XP.  It isn't that bad.

I read the NBP book and it helped a lot.
