A number of us prioritise and make personal budgets.
A number of people go to their agencies.
Although not true in my case: I do know of employers who have provided site
licenses.
If the tools don't allow a person to do his/her job, then there is no job
for that person and no money anyway.

Hi Vaughan,
I sincerely hope that Jaws really works for you.
You have to go with what works. (smile)
Good luck,
Rod

Subject: Window-Eyes has gone from my employer's computer
Greetings everyone.
Over the weekend, I switched to JFW, and it has come as something of a shock
to realise that Window-eyes is no longer the preferred screen reader.
Yesterday it came off my workstation at work.
JFW meets more of my work requirements than does Window-Eyes. The braille
support with the Focus line of displays is far better than the support I
could get from Window-eyes.
JFW's extensive help and other training material is for me quite daunting,
but I'll get used to it.
Web browsing at close to JFW default settings gives more information
regarding elements and content.
Outlook is keeping track of open messages more reliably.
Yesterday at work: Window-Eyes crashed four times in three hours. To be
more accurate: other apps interacting with Window-Eyes crashed, and Outlook
was one of the prime culprits.
The corporate network gets grumpy with respect to some of the Window-eyes
apps. I am sure that it probably also does with JFW's scripts.
So: it is sad to see an old friend go, but when the tools of the trade no
longer do what is required, hard decisions have to be made with respect to
those tools.
Vaughan.
