Hi, everyone it's Jason, I got a question on this software issue? Sorry to go off topic but I just got done viewing an email from Davy saying that you would get money back from your insurance if you buy speech software is that true? I was wondering if I understood that message right ----- Original Message ----- From: "Che" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] it is true you can buy screen readers and other sofware and be refunded by your insurance is that your medical? If you can answer these questions it would be greatly be appriciated.
