For me, Vocal-eyes 1.1 for DOS was the first DOS screen reader I ever
used back in 1990. I remember studying the recorded manual and thinking
that this was the most amazing piece of software.

I got my first IBM clone (256K of RAM) at this time in 1985, and was
running Screen-Talk before Computer Aids Corporation added the Prokey
macros. A SET file was about 128 bytes long, and I edited some of them
with Edlin for better compatibility with my Votrax Personal Speech
System. Many times I'm amazed that this Windows stuff works at all.
Windows 3.1 came out in 1990, and the first screen reader for Windows
was OutSpoken, which was first demonstrated in July of 1992.
Window-Eyes for Windows 3.1 came out in 1995, and it could first run
Windows 95 in 1997.

I started out with artic vision, and for a short time, I had a
computer that I was supposed to get if I got a job that had vocal
eyes on it. But I was so used to the Artic that I didn't like the
vocal eyes. Yes, diskettes, the five inch soft ones and the 3.5-inch
ones. Somewhere, I still have them! Pam.

You might want to check your timeline. 25 years ago I was using GW
Micro's VocalEyes on DOS and there was no such thing as Windows.
Sheesh! Now I suddenly feel old. Thanks a bunch. (grin)

Here is a feature that they've added to Internet explorer which is
turned
on
by default called "Do not track".
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/ie-do-not-track
It's not perfect, but they are actually trying to improve the
security of
Windows not make it worse.
Now, can we please get back to talking about Window-eyes?
