Houdy eric,
Bravo! Now on this score you are absolutely right! I didn't take this into my
account in my first post on this topic but as one of my favorite wrestlers
likes ta say Oh it's true! It's damn true! When you get into this part of the
game, you are spending twice the money that you'd spen on the computer system
itself and for all those damned restrictions heaven forbid. On that score,
window-eyes absolutely rules which when it came to me making my final decision
on a purchase I would always take window-eyes!

Subject: Re: Window-eyes good or bad?
This is a dead horse. The only thing is, every time we beeat it, a jiant
pretitor erupts from the body and begins mowing down on the populous.
Working for companies that sell both, I have to say, there's no money in
selling jaws, because by the time it gets to a small access technology vender,
the markup is so small that it all gets blown away sending technicians to the
clients house to troubleshoot video intersept and activation manager issues.
That's no joke either.
Then take into account the abominable lack of support from the company, the
rediculously high price point and useage restrictions, and some other factors,
and you have a product in jaws that is grulingly unpleasant to sell, support,
and train on.
Many people love jaws. That's OK. I am not one of them. Most of my clients
don't need the power of jaws or window-eyes, and would be much better off with
something lower end and lower cost. There's also a misguided perseption that
jaws is better because more people use it, which I find extremely irritating.
Most people do not care which screen reader is better. They buy what their
vendor and authorizer tell them to buy, and of course, that usually means jaws
because of old habbit and the fact that jaws is the most expensive, meaning
they get to bill higher. No one tries different screen readers and finds out
what their strengths and weeknesses are, and why does an 80 year old lady need
a $1300 piece of access technology to read her email anyway? Overall though, I
think window-eyes is best in it's class, and I've used a bunch. WE just always
seems to do whatever I need it to do. It's hardware support blows jaws away.
The polacies of the company behind it favour the customer rather than bullying
both customers and resellers. If you are starting out or looking to switch off
to something, then WE is a very good bet.

Some say that window eyes is a million times better than JFW, some say the
other way around. What does everyone
(and I mean everybody) think about this one?
