Reading message from digest has locked up my computer three times?????

I have tried to read the viphone digest, three different digests, and when I use JAWS FIND to go to the words, "Back to Top" to go to the next post, it has locked up my computer. This has happened three different times with three different digest documents. Things seem to be working with other

Voice Dream Scanner versus KNFB question?

First of all, I was not impressed with the NFB Technology explanation as to why KNFB Reader has fallen so far behind in terms of its ability. I suspect Dr. Kurzweil may be retiring from the scene somewhat as he well deserves and NFB is fiddling around with things instead of tending to business.
