Hey Leana, I would also remind your friends that the cost for programs is considerably less, which is great because more risk can be taken for those programs that one wishes to purchase. For example, Hazel, Text Expander, and LaunchBar are just some additions that I have incorporated into my own workflow. Moreover, I would also remind your friends that unlike JAWS, once one learns a series of default keystrokes for navigation, they are standard across the entire computer, which is great.
