Why should I have to shedule time with my wife, or whoever, to install something on my computer? I'm not a great fan of Windows, but at least jaws now speaks to you from the moment you put the CD in the drive. It is absolutely not necessary to get anyone to help you install Jaws. Come on guys let's have a system that talks from as early on as possible. It is still a source of irritation that I cannot access the bios setup on my pc without sighted help, but at least when things get going the operating system comes up talking.
