Hi, Chris. If someone needs to use my computer for one reason or another, I just unload jaws. One time one of my nephews was helping me with something and he said the speech was bugging him. I got a little upset with him and told him I wanted to hear what was going. He said he could see what he needed to do if I'd unload jaws so now that's what I do of someone needs to use the computer.
