Congrats! I agree with everything that was said. Chip's classes helped me understand scripting, and though I'm still studying them, I understand more than before I heard of the classes. Also, I believe GW Micro has put out the best screen reader. It is so, so sad that most blind people prefer other commercial screen readers than one that does not restrict you on anything. I personally wish that someday, if God wills, lets me work for them. ;) So, yes thank you Mr. Orange for teaching us all; you are a great teacher.
