Hello Bill and All - Like you, I would very much like to see access to the Control-Alt-Delete dialog. I have been pushing heavily for this for a long time. What i am told is that when you're screen reader has the stability and other advantages of being true 32 bit (as JFW does), this is a very complicated and time consuming problem to solve. This would take a great deal of time away from development in other, very important areas. That does not mean that a solution will not be found, only that it must be prioritized among all the very important work HJ is doing, work that gives us all superior access to as many as possible of the applications we need. Being able to use Control-Alt-Delete to install applications with better stability doesn't buy you a lot if you can't access those applications efficiently once they are installed. Since I am not truly on staff at HJ (as you mistakenly said on another list) but merely write manuals for them on a fee basis, I am not privy to all the developments here. I do suspect something will happen to solve this problem in the not too distant future. You may count on me continuing to needle them until it does. (That's another advantage of not being on staff. I can say what I want and be an advocate for the users' best interests.) Let's all keep pushing for this feature. Knowing HJ, when it does finally come, it may come in a form better than the other screen readers have. As for your comments about access to I.E 5.01 not buying a lot over earlier I.E. versions, I guess I disagree with that. I find I can access many more sites and work much more efficiently than with I.E. 3. Like you, I do not believe that Internet access is everything, but better access certainly is a benefit. And it is important to support the latest browsers because older ones are incapable of dealing with the latest web site content tricks that web designers love to use. As for Access 32, I cannot comment on this because I do not use it. I know other beta testers do, but I strongly dislike this synthesizer to the point where I never use it. This should not come as a surprise to anybody since I've said it before. I'll have to leave comments about this product to others. Finally, the points you made in your message strongly reinforce what I was saying. That is, the Windows landscape is changing so rapidly that it takes enormous resources on the part of any screen reader company to keep up. What with Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Java, etc, not to mention all of the curves application developers keep throwing at us, no company can possibly tackle every problem simultaneously. That's what I said in my note, and that's essentially what you're saying as well when you said your other screen reader had Braille 2 access but wasn't as good as JFW in other areas. Well, it took a little time, but now JFW has both of these things. Progress takes time, but when HJ is involved, you can be sure you will have progress. It's your job and the job of other users to keep insisting, politely but forcefully, on getting the features you want. But let's keep a little perspective. Nobody, not even HJ, can do everything at once.
