I agree, I asked Jonathan Mozen what the difference in tandom and remote desktop was and he admitted there was little or no difference. ----- Original Message ----- From: erik burggraaf To: BBS Cc: GW Micro Product Discussion Listserv Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2010 8:18 AM Subject: Re: Window-Eyes Should Have Something Like Jaws Tandom
Window-eyes does. It's called remote desktop and it either comes with your windows OS or you can download it. Tandem is just a stupid fluffy feature to make you think you need jaws when you don't. In fact, if you want remote desktop support in jaws so you can go into any computer regardless of what screen reader is on it, then you have to pay extra for that in your jaws licence. Where-as you get the support included with your window-eyes. Personally I refuse to log into computers remotely to provide support. If I offered that service I'd never have any peace. It's hard enough to get some downtime in the evenings as it is. Best, erik burggraaf A+ certified technician and user support consultant.

And if any of you haven't, it's a service that Freedom Scientific offers to people to control a person's computer while the person is listening to what the other person is doing. It was able to be used by normal people to control a computer and was able to allow staff to control the person's computer as well. It would be nice if Window-Eyes had that kind of thing, because right now I'm having trouble going on the internet with both IE and Firefox. But the internet is connected, because if it wasn't, I wouldn't be able to send this. But I'm so flustered about it so I'll stop. Really! I really feel like screamin' the F bomb!!!
