This is great information.
Thank you for sharing it.
I'll definitely be keeping a lookout for it as I have absolutely no intention
of upgrading any of my Windows 7 PCs to Windows 10.
I am a strong believer in the old adage of "if it ain't broken, don't fix it."

Thanks Kawal.
I have downloaded the app to my iPhone in anticipation of my purchase.
It seems to be accessible.
Looking forward to getting this product as well.
The Sound is pretty good if the reviews are any indication.

Hi fellow list members,
Seeking your advice.
My 2013 late MacBook Pro is getting rather long in the tooth and I am
looking at upgrading.
The question is do I purchase a new Mac or heaven forbid get a PC?
I don't mind Windows 10 but I would need to resurrect JAWS license or
perhaps use NVD
That system is fairly new. If you can upgrade memory or drive you should get
another 2 or 3 years out of it. I think the only networking he really that
upgraded is Bluetooth 4.2 in the new systems.

Nothing wrong with the laptop per say.

Seems a bit complex, and I don't know about File Vault. The idea is to use

with that, unless OS X sees a dark screen as sleeping.

Hardware wise the computer is perfect.

I think the best idea agreed on unanimously by the list is to set up a

audio applications and recording podcasts.
