I also use JAWS screen reader, and it works good for me!    I wish I could learn more with it!      My best thing to do with it is emails!  LOL! Going to my sister's for the Holiday!       Sincerely, Linda

Hey Valerie:  As for screen readers, I've done JHAWS since 1995. I've
played around with Window Eyes, but for some reason, can't seem to get
it very well.  Can't stand NVDA.  Just because it's free, doesn't mean
it works for me.  I've just never been real crazy about it.  Yeah, I
guess some of us folks don't like change.  It's easier to stay with what
I've had since dirt.  Don't do change if I don't have to.  I don't
always upgrade though because they think I should and they want what
little money I have...

As for Thanksgiving, We're going to Bill's Mom and Step-Dad's.  Been
baking like a fiend in between laundry loads.  Other than that,
everyone's just great around here.  Getting everything ready to go. In
case I don't get on again, all you guys have a Blessed Thanksgiving!!!
Believe it or not, Thanksgiving is actually my favorite holiday.  I
think we should be thankful year-round.  I guess that's why I like it.
Not because of the food.  To be perfectly honest, Turkey is too dry for
me.  I simply tolerate it because it's there.  I'm a ham lady myself.
My dad didn't like turkey either.  He'd go out and hunt for a deer and
Mom would cook up some deer meat.  Yummmmeeee!!!  Nothing like some good
old sausage!!

> Hello Linda,  We don't have Thanksgiving here in Aus, but it is getting busier with Christmas so close.  I am hoping it will not be too hot on Christmas day, but if it is, we shall all be outdoors  on the back verandah enjoying lunch.   I guess most on the list will have a cool Christmas.
