Mr. Gasman, I agree with you completely. This is Timothy here in Huntsville.
I think overall, Hj has made great and tremendous improvements on the
product and my outlook on the whole thing is a lot better than it used to
be. With the new internet capability as well as improvements on other
things, in my opinion, it is still tops. I have been a Jaws user since the
good old days of Dos and have watched it grow, change, and now mature over
the years and it's amazing what has happened with it with this latest
release. The braille display support, the speed with which it runs, the
stability that it has finally got is rather nice. It now seems like that old
sports car that had a govenor on it for speeds up to fifty and that's it,
has been taken off and now things fly. I've got students who use other
screen readers but the majority here at the University use Jfw and love the
improvements. I sign off now in hopes that Hj will continue to work as
dilligently as they have and continue to improve on a very good product.
