[gui-talk] Just realized: I have no DVD drive for new Jaws 11

[Joel Deutsch]

Wayne,

that's nice and convenient, in my case. Just out of curiosity, is there any 
element in the new version that I'll actually miss out on without installing 
via the physical DVD? Maybe those voices? I have to admit I've never gotten 
into using them for Say All or any purpose, really, although I'm aware that 
some Jaws users really dig them, like to assign different voices to 
different functions, and all kinds of stuff. I just never got into it, and 
rely on the Eloquence Perfect Paul or whatever he's called the last few 
versions for everything except what's assigned by default (like the Jaws 
cursor) to the deeper voice that used to be called Rocco. I guess someone at 
Eloquence decided that was anti-Italian because it hinted at a  Mafia 
wiseguy or something?

But I go on,. Sorry. So you think I can just download and install everything 
straight from FS and just plunk the DVD into a drawer when it finally shows 
up in my mailbox?

thanks.

For what it's worth, the new free FS Reader application is included
with the JAWS installation file, so there's no separate file to
download/install.
