If John Blake is the type of CEO that he is being portrayed as being,
much of this feedback will be geting to him. I actually believe that he
could show some leadership though, and as soon as practicable, tell us
how the new company will stay committed to Ai Squared products.
There is nothing wrong with a profit motive driving this industry's
consolidation. How many of us know about the high costs of research and
develoment, the long lag time between conceptulasing a piece of
software, developing the code, testing the code, debugging, manual
writing, sales and distribution?
By way of example: I have been ranting on for ages about the urgent need
for Window-Eyes to have improved braille support. We were told during
this discussion that at last, Ai Squared will have access to braille
specialists as part of the new arrangements. Great - I say! Like it or
not, small, innovative companies struggle. I am hopeful that with some
scale, prices will drop, gbut they may relate to products that none of
us have yet imagined.

I hear what people are saying, but that doesn't mean that we as
Window-eyes users should just lie down and give up. If you value
Window-eyes, then we need to say something. If it does turn out that
JAWS wins, then we can at least say we tried.

Oh, Hmm, let's see, just for a second. Freedom Scientific's idea of a
great
offer, JAWS and Magic student addition for $300 per year, "Using Federal
Quoata funds. They have never, and will not ever, consider the end-user.
Gw-micro/Ai Squared Window-eyes as long as you have a copy of the latest
version of Microsoft office. Not to mansion before that the payment
plan.
It's not AI-squared that I have a lack of confidence in, it's Freedom
Scientific.

Why are so many of you list members acting like the end has come. I'm
looking forward to the future and hoping for the best in accessibility!
If you expect the worst, that's what you'll get, I'm expecting a
positive
outcome and I hope that I'm right about that!
