[nabs-l] JAWS question, please help

Mon Sep 26 01:51:30 UTC 2011

David,

I will use XP, until I am absolutely forced to move up. When I am at school
I am forced to use 7. I have no clue what they were thinking when they took
away the menu thing. I will never get this new fangled technology LOL

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.
