When JAWS is constantly marketed to all the agencies, schools, and other markets as the number 1 product, naturally people will go for it. I say that, because I tried demos of window-eyes, and JAWS before I purchased my first screen reader, which happened to be, you guessed it, JAWS. It came down for me at the time, to what did I know more. I was being taught JAWS at the school for the blind that I went to, and only later did I get a taste of window-eyes. I wish I would have taken the time to study window-eyes more, but I think in a lot of ways, it has become more stable, and it will be sad to see it go.

Freedom had an in with state agencies, veterans and so forth. When I was a client in Nevada and also here in Kansas, all they knew or cared about was jaws. It was like a religion, and still is in some cases. 73 Butch WA0VJR Node 3148 Wallace, ks. On Sun, 7 May 2017, Dave via Talk wrote: > GW Micro must have been suffering from Cash Flow problems.
