Hi there!
What am I missing..? Has there been some official word as to the demise
of Window-Eyes? If so, when was this word released? To my knowledge
there has been no such word. If there has been, please let mknow.
Catch Ya All Later! de

Hello List,
I am glad this list is still functioning so as I adjust to the
potential slow demise of Window Eyes, I can stay in contact with
folks. Hopefully this list continues as it is the easiest way to get
help. Trying to connect with another mailing list would be a pain for
me and there may be some that wouldn't be aware of the move until too
late.
I think the slippery slide for W-e started when HIMS disconnected from
GW after GW helped them get started in the US. I had gone to a 2-day
intro training at GW in Fort Wane the year Booksense was coming out
and the folks at GW were so excited. Next thing I knew, HIMS was
separating.
On my internet search I learned of GW collaberating with Apple to make
iTunes more accessible. Well, that isn't happening any more.
then GW and Microsoft were collaberating and W-E was available free
for MS Office users. I was kinda hoping Microsoft would invite GW to
become part of Microsoft's accesibility team resulting in W-e
replacing Narrator. Nope.
I read the posts about the changes in W-e since Vocal eyes. change is
unavoidable, but I am not liking the changes of late.
As for JFS, in 2008+- when I realized my vision wasn't going to work
for reading, my rehab agency gave me MAGIC. When I got the blue
screen of death, the FS tech person said I needed to change my
registry. I knew better than to do it myself and didn't trust local
rehab tech people. further research led me to GW Micro and Window
Eyes. They were very helpful, and when I did get the death screen,
they walked my husband and I through replacing my drivers. GW folks
were wonderful with awesome tech support and answered many of my
questions quickly and accurately. the other day when I called VFO, I
had to wait a while on the phone only to get someone who had to text
someone else to find the answer to even the simplest of questions.
So, given the choice between NVDA which is free but uses email support
and Jowls where you can talk to a human with questionable help, I will
probably choose NVDA.
Thank you for your patience and support as I go through the changes
withh the awesome Window Eyes. I sure hope it stays around, but I
will prepare in case it doesn't.
Brenda
