You know, this is very nice for organizations.  But how about those of us who have shelled out the $900 for the program?  How about doing a little something for us, too?  $900 is a lot of money for us, the unemployed or retired or for those who simply can't afford that much.  Just saying.

Hi JAWS User List,

Just wanted to jump in and explain more about this opportunity. In addition to the national trade shows, it's also something that is available for anyone in the United States or Canada who is working at an organization that owns a current version multiuser license JAWS, Fusion, or ZoomText license. We call this the Home Use Program and it’s a great deal that thousands of users currently take advantage of today. Modeled after the "Microsoft User at Home Program" where employees at very large organizations who own a certain level of office products, employees can buy the subscription for home for about $10 per year.

For Freedom Scientific products, we offer prices for a new Home Edition License of JAWS for just $125, regular price is $900. Fusion Home Edition is just $150, regular price is $1200. ZoomText is just $100. Upgrades from real old versions is also greatly reduced, and you can get the SMAs discounted about 20%. Plus, once you are registered in the system under the Home Use Program, you are entitled to a 20% discount on hardware products, which can be a huge savings on something like a $2500 Braille Display, where you can save up to $500.

If you work for an organization that has a multiuser license of any of the Freedom Scientific or AiSquared products, please ask someone there about the program. It cost them nothing to participate other than having their license up to date. And the employees do the purchases direct with Freedom Scientific so they are not involved in the transaction.

Most Federal and State agencies are already in it but hundreds of companies and organizations are already signed up.

Regards,
Eric

Thank you for taking the rains in this matter. I was hoping to avoid a long argument or debate when a simple phone call could clear things up right away.

So, I did exactly what you asked, David.

Hal, of VFO, informed me that this special was for conventions only and is no longer in effect.

I suggest somebody who is curious about this matter contact VFO
directly to confirm or denounce this prospect.

I wouldn't want a long drawn out discussion to start as it would not
serve to further the ability of any person to use JAWS.

    I'd rather pay $120 for two SMA upgrades than $225.

This sounds too good to be true, but someone on another list claims
that he was told by a VFO phone rep today that they now offer a
low-cost program whereby you can purchase a full copy of JAWS for a
one-time payment of only $125, or $225 with two SMA’s regardless of
income, rather than the standard price of $1000.  Has anyone heard
about this low-cost program?  Or did this person misunderstand what
the rep told him?  After all, if anyone, excluding businesses and
government agencies,  could buy a fully unrestricted copy of JAWS for
a mere $125, why would they choose to buy it for the regular price of
$1000 instead?  This just doesn’t make any sense.  There must be a catch.
