[nfbcs] any experience with JAWES and open office

[Jude DaShiell]

It's entirely possible jaws won't work with that new computer once 
purchased.  If the video driver is too new, jaws won't have anything 
available to talk with it so when a new computer gets bought be sure 
jaws already accommodates that driver before you get it home or else.
