Hi Sky:
I have been an assistive technology trainer for years, but I work for a
company who sells JAWS, Window-eyes, and other products. I like the
progressive attitude of the company because they are always looking at new
products and try to get agencies and schoolboards interested in the most
advanced technology on the market.
Having said that, some agencies are too stuborn to change and you are
betteroff just doing the job you are asked to do. If you keep banging your
head against the wall trying to change attitudes,, you will just end up with
a very bad headache, and nothing will change except the number of Tylonol
left in the bottle.

Subject: Agencies and governments that supply tech stuff for the blind
Hello List, I was thinking about something early. You know how some
governments and agencies provide just one choice and that is Jaws? The
reason they do this is because they're neither interested nor do they want
to here about Window-Eyes, and I doubt that if Doug or anyone from GW Micro
tries to market we to the powers to be in any governments, it wouldn't even
work. For example, I am in BC, Canada, and I am still in high school, i am
starting transition year next year. The company from Vancouver supplies all
the tech stuff to the schooldistricts , these include: Jaws. Magic, PacMate,
and Kurzweil1000. However, I must tell you guys that when I was at a tech
camp on an island, one of the ladies from the company went to CSum, and she
tried Window-Eyes, and she found it to be very very responceive, and in her
oppinion, better. I was shocked to find somebody from the company that
supplied Jaws give that comments. Furthermore, i'm going to be an assistive
technology instructor but i'm primary going to be teaching Jaws, and I don't
want to teach We, as the company that asked me to teach just wants me to
teach jaws, and nothing else, maybe the PacMate, but no gw Micro products. I
might be able to teach Window-Eyes on the internet, but not in person.
