[nfbcs] Running JAWS on Windows on a Mac - Issues?

[Steve Jacobson]

Aaron,

That is great that you got XP to work on the MAC.  I'd be curious to hear more about what you are doing and whether you thought there would be 
problems with Windows 7?  Also, did you ever find an editor that you liked?

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
