I'm impressed. Bless your heart.

Hi gang: Well I'm probably a little older than Dave and Lenny. I first met Ted Henter when he and I think Derek came down to Fort Myers and they had a seminar at red lobster, I spoke to both of them at that time don't remember the exact date. I was using TSI'S speech synthesizer on an IBM 3280. I and my department director went over to Stuart Florida and watch the demo of an early standalone computer, we didn't buy it. D I then received a modified version of the IBM 3280 with speech, it had a little pad that was connected by a cable that you used to control the speech much like what you do now on a desktop with jaws for speech. E I don't know that I was first or second to buy jaws but I can tell you my serial number is in the low 1100s. P it's been a great trip through version 1 up to 18 now and I've had every version I have long retired from the school system. A I will be 83 years old at the end of June, so this probably puts me as one of the oldest on this list. R Hope this rambling through a little of history helps, tment director George R.

In 1980 Dean Blazy started Maryland Computer Systems where he first released ITS , information through speech, it was based on an HP computer. Ted Hinter worked for Dean at that time. In 1980 I had the world's first talking computer linked to an IBM main frame computer an IBM 370. After the first or 2nd winter in Maryland Ted left for a warmer climate and started his own company. There was a dispute over the name so he changed it to Hinter Joyce. It was around 1985 when I purchased jaws for dos. In 1995 he released JFW, I was the 47th individual to purchase that product. -----Original Message----- From: Angel238 Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2017 9:58 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] A look back at history: On this list, there have been references to "Freedom Scientific". The company which preceded the current company. Which now owns our adaptive screen reading and magnification products. I think it might be of interest to the newer users of Jaws to know: "Freedom Scientific" was not the first company to own Jaws. The first was "Henter Joyce". Founded by Ted Henter, and, I believe Dean Blazy. It might also interest you to know, Ted henter was blind. He sold the company. to illustrate again how successful we blind people can be. If we just reach for the stars, and develop our fullest potential. Which we do all the time. How far Jaws has come from the time when its initials meant Job Access With Speech. Young people, now days, are indeed fortunate to be able to accomplish, with so much more ease, things which much more effort was taken to achieve a half century ago. Prior to the use of the internet, and when our only printing device was the typewriter. Though, then, once a skill was learned, one could rely on being able to employ that skill for years. Now, it seems, with such rapid changes, it seems new skills must be learned constantly. To accomplish the same things?
