OK. The real truth is that we have been shafted by the company who made JAWS, pluss the blind organizations. The true reason why organizations favored JAWS above Window-Eyes was because it brought them more profit. The venders who sold Window-Eyes, supernova etc. always put JAWS at the top of their lists. Plus the venders deliberately lied about Window-Eyes too. As an example, their was a girlfriend of a list member, named Carol who was on the list, and one of her relatives was blind, and he used Window-Eyes so he recommended it over JAWS. She got Window-Eyes no problems. Then, she went and got a new computer and a new copy of Window-Eyes, and the assessor that she met told her that Window-Eyes was going bust and that there was no point in going with it. This guy worked at the blind school in Brantford, Ontario. Carol told him that she was under no circumstances taking JAWS and that she had a Window-Eyes expert as a boyfriend and she eventually got Window-Eyes with two SMA's. Also, venders for the blind would also lie about the free version of Window-Eyes for office. They would say things like the free version doesn't work with office, it only works as a demo, it only lasts 6 months, it only lasts for 90 days, etc. These were regular lies told by the venders. It was the profit factor, not the product. The venders favored JAWS because it brought them more profit. That is the true story of why Window-Eyes never made it up to the top. gbow...@msn.com] Sent: Monday, May 29, 2017 8:45 AM To: Sky Mundell; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: RE: Announcement: Brian Hartgen Training Course, Over Easy:The Switch from window-Eyes to JAWS!

Let's hear it, why is that? And I just had a funny thing happen with JAWS, I did the hole control+y to go to a folder in outlook, and I selected my inbox. It told me -2 of 1014 messages. So, it's okay for JAWS to report negative numbers? lol -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+dgbowles=msn....@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Sky Mundell via Talk Sent: Monday, May 29, 2017 11:43 AM To: ukekearu...@valtdnet.com; 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' <talk@lists.window-eyes.com> Subject: RE: Announcement: Brian Hartgen Training Course, Over Easy:The Switch from window-Eyes to JAWS! Being Held Online 6/1/17 at 2pm Eastern, 7pm UK Time I'm not even going to be buying this course by this guy. Besides, I know the whole truth of why JAWS was promoted over Window-Eyes and it is not just my opinion, it is the truth of many Window-Eyes users. -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+skyt=shaw...@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Olusegun -- Victory Associates LTD, Inc. via Talk Sent: Monday, May 29, 2017 8:35 AM To: 'Darrell Bowles'; 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' Subject: RE: Announcement: Brian Hartgen Training Course, Over Easy:The Switch from window-Eyes to JAWS! Being Held Online 6/1/17 at 2pm Eastern, 7pm UK Time I'm not trying to KILL business for another blind entrepreneur; however, I will say without mincing words that no one, especially those of us in the United States and Canada, should ever pay a RED cent for this course! For a start, my buddy and brother, Mr. Raul Gallegos, did record some Jaws-related titbits for all to download and has never charged a cent for it. Second, questions can be asked here or on some other mailing lists frequented by the blind, and the good folks who are better gurus than I at just about everything will STEP UP TO THE PLATE and lend a helping hand with smiles. Now, if the training has to do with WRITING JAWS SCRIPTS, I can understand paying for that! In that instance, the recording should already be done, a download link provided so I can pay for and grab it and work slowly on it till I have learned enough to get stuff done. No! No Window-Eyes user should be milked a penny more for transitioning to Jaws! It's wrong in my books. I'll stay on this list for as long as is possible; I'll do all I can to help folks with using Jaws; if I don't have answers to particular questions, I'll go find them and come back here with workable solutions and tips at NO cost! Even when I transition completely to Android by September, I'll still be here to help folks who need help with Jaws. Again, no Window-Eyes user MUST BE MILKED OUT of a cent for transitioning!
