I talked about this before and can truly see why 150 or even 200 dollars
might be reasonable to upgrade into windows 2000. I know we're not there
yet but I seriously think that H.J. is taking advantage of the windows
screen reader NT market, which doesn't have much choice except for Protalk
32 from boiling up in Canada. Some of you's for now should feel privileged
that you're not paying what they are for NT access. They are way expensive.
I just prey that when everybody else catches up to NT, in general, that Jaws
will be reasonable when they have Jaws ready for windows NT5 or 2000 ready.
You know they'll be in front of the pack!
Piece,
Carlos
