[nabs-l] Frustrated with Bookshare!

[Mike Freeman]

Further thought: whether Joshua likes it or not, being part of the
mainstream means that that he will have to keep up with the latest software,
i.e., upgrade to JAWS 14. This is something blind and sighted alike must
deal with. For better or worse, the computer field doesn't stay static and
there's no requirement that everything work with all versions of everything
that went before.

That was the sort of thing that made IBM's OS-360 so unwieldy. But that's
going back a way.

I have used bookshare books with jaws 10 and internet explorer before
and didn't have any problems. Maybe its the file type you downloaded
it as? I used Daisy Text.
