[nobe-l] JAWS 13 is out TODAY--lucky 13

[Dr. Denise M Robinson]

Check to see if you have an upgrade...Turn on JAWS, Insert+J to open JAWS if
he is on your system tray or alt+tab to open if he is on your task bar.
Alt+A to about and listen and you will be able to see if you have a free
upgrade--if so then download the new version
If you already have JAWS 12 and no upgrade, call and they can give you a
price on the upgrade
