I have reserved my copy of Windows 10 and I'm going to choose to let it download, but just because I download it, doesn't mean I have to install it yet. That is the nice thing about it. I guess I could try and cancel my reservation, but I'm not sure I can do that now. Thoughts? Thanks, Dacia

Hello, It does work fairly well. The only thing I don't like about Chrome is its menu structure. It is not the most intuitive. As well when you are in the Menus it will not tell you if there is a sub-menu. You have to just hit the right arrow to see if there is one. Regards, Greg Wocher

Hi All, Has anyone used LEASEY with JAWS? I'm considering buying the advanced version while it's on sale. I really need the clips feature as the Office clipboard seems to wreak havoc on the Braille display. I used these before in JTools and really liked them. I just want to know if there are

I just tried to purchase Leasey. However, I keep going in circles. Secondly, I forgot my PayPal password, no matter what I try it does not work, when I tried to change it there is a CAPTCHA with sound, however, I could not understand the letters or remember them. Some days I truly hate computers

Hi, I was looking at the documentation as a preview to possibly purchasing Leasey. I thought FSReader should be able to see the DAISY books (daisybooks2) which comprise the manual, but it wasn't. (I was hoping to choose FSReader to read DAISY materials other than JAWS training, but instead,

You will probably have to force a shut down on the computer by holding the power button down until the computer shuts down. Then try unplugging the power cord from your computer, and if it is a laptop, take out the battery. Now press and hold the power button for about 8 to 10 seconds, to drain

Well Chrome has been around for several years now, I don't remember when it launched, but I would think that FS should now be making some programming that would make it as easy as IE or Firefox, not that I favor Firefox all that much. Still, I think it has been over five years, the program seems

The answer to that is, sort-of. Firefodx (its nearest accessible equivalent) generally is better than Chrome. But, in certain situations, using Chrome can solve forms problems - where items are not seeb accessibly by FF or IE. If you like speed, on one level you'll get it with Chrome.
