Authorization Keys

[Mashruddin Bin Saharuddin]

Hello! I'm a first timer on this list and, I hope my views are welcomed here. The point I'd like to make is this. I bought JFW2.0 in 1996.Back then, I bought the best computer money could but, so I thought, Namely, an IBM Aptiva 166. upon installation, I heard a pop, and an illegal operations message. Our local JFW representative, made me change to a new video card, Which I found out later to be just as disagreeable with jaws. I tried, unaided to fix my screen reader on to two other computers with equally dismal results. I tossed the disk, emptied of its authorization keys, aside, for useless! At the same time, a bought a Jed, which I found to be an update version. Which means that, as soon as the vendor was out of sight, and I needed to recover my computer, I found out to my disgust that, jfd had turned in to a 1000 key stroke demo. Out, went my dream to be able to communicate with the world. But, gladly, that was not to be, because, while playing with the training tapes, I discovered that, if, I could get a functional Jaws copy, There was still the embed Authorization print, at least that's what I think it is, and I could Still be in business! true enough, the fateful day came. I was playing with another screen reader demo when, a pal called up to say that JFW3.2 was out, and that I should go to the sight to check if my authorization number was on the list. This was two years after I disowned JFW. Dragging my feet I went, and, lo! to my surprise, there it was, 6696! What good Fortune! I downloaded the thing, tapped to commence installation, and, then, Doctor Jaws came onn! I was, and still am, elated! In short, it all went well except for the damned keys. What could I do! Suddenly, quite by accident, I stumbled to this list and, just in time to. The discussion on the goods and bads of JFW authorization key method was being aired. I managed with some reluctance, and courage, to send and email to them and, guess what! they were extremely courteous and helpful. so that now, I was given my reset code of three keys which works no my 3 year old diskette. I was also told to send my authorization number with the latest extensions for the latest reset code if I chance to need it. there fore, to my mind, the issues on the clock, and the authorization keys just don't stand up any more. careless folks like me can rest assured that the license we ascribed to is good as resets are available. If I was Mr.. Henter and the group of blind and partially blind people who are working so hard to make their screen reader work so beautifully for us, I would be disappointed to learn that, the blind don't only lead the blind, they kill the blind as well! I hear, the people in the west are very proud and protective over artistic copy rights. We in the east are said to be savagers and pirates. Surely you out there wouldn't like to go to your grand offices and find out that you have be substituted and that, no amount of union power could save you, would you? I bet Beth serano, Ted Henter and Eric demory and the team must worry about the day when a code cracker device used by a mean blind man manages to break the Authorization code, so that in turn, he could be an over night tycoon while a few score of blind talent go join the welfare row. and for jJFW customers, the head line, JAWS DEFUNCT! JAWS IS DEAD! Is that what we want? Well in that case, I would suggest Mr.. Henter plant a virus in your authorization key, the next time you ask for a reset, And the blind community at large would at last be rid of elements like your self. Keep up the good work JFW! Mashruddin, that's my name!
