SUgar and Scorpio and all: I'm nervous,, too, but hearing that Outlook Express is included in win 7 is easing my mind a bit. I don't do complicated things on my computer so I don't need any bells and whistles. However, if msoft is going to cease supporting xp, I'll want to upgrade my operating system. I actually have jaws' last two upgrades but am still using v 12 because it works best. I am dependent on all of you to give guidance since I do not know anyone locally who understands a thing about jaws or etc. Maybe I will just wait and see, hoping I don't pass up an opportunity to buy win 7 and get shoved into 8 or something else that I'll hate. Thanks.
