[Trainer-talk] Internet Issues

[David Goldfield]

Hi, Sharonda.

 From my experience IE7 was pretty stable and I don't recall 
experienceing any regular crashes with that version.  JAWS 8 should work 
with it, because I remember that FS claimed that version 7.1 of Jaws 
offered support for IE7.

Out of curiosity, would you happen to know which Web sites are crashing?
