Gw Micro and all,
Hello, in my personal opinion, especially in light of my previous email,
that's wonderful news! I meant and mean everything I said in my last
email. Thank you for listening Gw Micro, seriously. Thank you. I at
least, really appreciate it. To people who post things like what Duyahn
did, we're all entitled to our own personal, opinions. I just personally
happen to feel more like John Raulings, and Shannon do. With that said,
it's not that I'm not thankful for what Gw Micro have done in the past,
Not at all. I did my best to make that perfectly clear in my last email.
However, Gw Micro as a for profit business entity exists (at least at
the present time) for the sole purpose of making things accessible to
people who are either blind, or who have low vision. To put it another
way, Gw Micro's job as a company is not to make amazing cups of coffee.
Gw Micro's job as a company is not to make my car run better, or even at
all. Gw Micro's job as a company is not to do my laundry. Gw Micro's job
is however, it would seem, based on what is conveyed via their website
and literature, and contained in the pages of press releases and
interviews and such, is to make things (historically computer related
things) accessible to people who are blind or who have low vision.
That's the only thing (or at least just about the only thing) that they
should be doing, all day, every day. In a way, my hope is that since
that is the case, some of the perhaps psychological burden will be
metaphorically lifted off of Gw Micro's shoulders so to speak. After
all, I'm not asking Gw Micro to diversify themselves in to highly
specialized, compartmentalized groups, developing highly secretive and
proprietary product-specific solutions for marketplaces that are diverse
both from a technological, and financial perspective, no no no. All I'm
sayin' is that I'd like to see Gw Micro (if they haven't already) step
back, sit down, regroup, take a few long and calming breaths, and then,
working thoughtfully and closely with one another, develop, or redevelop
if necessary, a modern plan of attack so to speak for 2013 and beyond
and then execute that strategy really, really, really well. So well in
fact that the kinds of problems that are so often discussed on this list
would either disappear altogether, or be reduced by close to 90% in
terms of frequency. I realize that's a tall order. I really do. Gw Micro
I imagine would most likely, were they and I having this conversation
face-to-face, respond to me and say something along the lines of, "That
sounds like a super plan Brandon, but if the companies who's products
we're trying to make accessible won't communicate with us, what can we
possibly do?" Unfortunately I don't have a good answer for that. I don't
know it all. But what I do know is that perhaps contrary to how I may
have come off in the past, I really am a genuine Gw Micro supporter, but
dad gum it, stuff needs to work! Track changes not working right in Word
is not working. Problems with Windows 8 functionality is not at all
working. Quick navigation hotkeys, or flash content not working right in
Firefox, or message header modification not being accessible in
Thunderbird is not working. I think Gw Micro needs to fix stuff like
that. That is after all, the whole reason they exist on a professional
level. As a company, that's just about all they should be doing. That's
the reason they're around. Speaking of that, I am eagerly looking
forward to learning about your new development Gw Micro, and I too hope
that it is both accessible, as well as affordable. Here's to brighter
days ahead!
Respectfully submitted,
Brandon Dean Miller

I am finding Macrium reflect is accessible, but of course not the
recovery media, but it does backups, scheduling and increentals.
