Hello list.
I don't think any comments sent to the vfo people will do much good.
Personally,I hope Microsoft Narater becomes so perfected that it
puts the
other screen reader into the useless category.
That would make Narrater the main screen reader just as Voiceover
is for
the Apple products.
Probably that's how it should be any way.
The possibility of Window Eyes being phased out just makes my heart
sick.
Having to change over to something else andlearn all those commands
and
other things just seems a little to much of a chalange at this age.
Something is just a little funny about this whole thing.
