[nabs-l] JAWS

Wed May 17 00:10:53 UTC 2017

I'm using an older version of jaws, version 15, but when my jaws 15
freezes up on me, I just usually turn on NVDA and I can cancel the
program that is giving me trouble.  In fact, I've been using NVDA a
bit more then jaws lately.  For some programs, NVDA works better then
jaws.  Filezilla is one example.<div
