I am not a big jaws user, though I own version nine. But didn't Jim
Snowbarger and others who write scripts use to charge somewhere around $25
or so for their scripts?
I could see paying 25 or $30. That makes sense to me, but paying as much as
I paid for Norton ghost 12, which is clearly a much more complex program
just seems wrong to me.
Still, if he can get $70 for his scripts, more power to him.
I have always been impressed with the guy. I just wish he'd rethink his
price structure.
Regarding itunes being free, I suppose that one could assume that that was
figured into the price of the Ipod, somehow, since you need itunes to even
use the thing.
But a 4gb ipod is only $100. That should make itunes pretty cheap if you
figure it as part of the package.
Still, it is a much more complicated program than is the JTunes script or
the 40 dollar antivirus program I use.

I have a fundamental problem with paying more for a script for a
program than the program itself, and in this case, the program itself
is free! I can understand, though, why the scripts are as pricy as
they are. It's not just one single script with a handful of
quick-and-dirty functions--not by a long shot--but paying more for the
script than most low-end MP3 players, well, I'd have to think about
that long and hard, and I hope T&T Consultancy might do the same.

>> Hi all,
>>
>> Despite a bit of a roller-coaster ride at the last moment with the
>> iTunes 8.01 update, J-Tunes version 4.0 is now available to download.
>> Please read this message carefully as it contains important
>> information prior to download.
>>
>> First, we must thank our beta testing team. If it was not for the
>> dedication and support from our beta testers this product just
>> wouldn't have happened. Considering iTunes 8 was released in
>> mid-September, and here we are in mid-October with a completely
>> rewritten and tested product is largely due to the hard work they have
>> put in.
>>
>> Also thanks to the developer, Brian Hartgen who has worked day and
>> sometimes night to get this product to the stage that it is now. He
>> must be congratulated on a fantastic effort.
>>
>> The User Guide is available on the website and I would encourage you
>> to read it as it is likely to answer all your questions. We have
>> expanded it to include all the new features of J-Tunes and have
>> included a whole new section on the use of the iPod Nano 4th
>> generation which is the latest iPod with talking menus
>>
>> J-Tunes will function as a demo by default. However if you have
>> purchased J-Tunes version 3, you can upgrade free of charge. Please
>> read the section in the User Guide relating to how this is done. The
>> price for a full copy of J-Tunes in Australia is $75.00.
>>
>> Literally as each day goes by, we learn more and more about iTunes. We
>> are collectively using more and more functions of iTunes to learn how
>> things work, and so there may be aspects of iTunes which are still
>> inaccessible. If so, please let us know, but we hope J-Tunes 4.0 goes
>> a long way to addressing them.
>>
>> Finally, as with all software, there may be problems with any software
>> package combined with iTunes. However if a bug is conclusively found,
>> the only way to get it addressed for sure is to send it to me at
>> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
>> I will then take responsibility for sending your report onto our beta
>> testing team. we will try and rectify it in the next J-Tunes update.
>> But we hope that you will enjoy the J-Tunes experience in using JAWS
>> with iTunes as our many customers have done until this point.
