Let me clarify my concerns about browse mode that seems to have ruffled some feathers on this fine day. I too have been a WE user since version 1.1 I think it was and would never consider switching to any other screen reader. There is no other screen reader on the market that offers better support than GW and maybe that is my point. For me surfing the net is probably one of my main uses of the computer. So in my case a broken browse mode and problems related to this function is of more concern to me in my useage of WE than other functions that concern other users. So please understand I am not bashing WE or GW just expressing my concerns about a part of WE that effects my primary usage of WE. So I will say it again, Keep up the great work GW but get this browse mode fixed.

Amen to all that! I've been a WE user since it first came out and wouldn't change for the world! I am very disappointed that libraries only have JAWS if anything at all! They don't order WE for patrons and our central library teaches classes and uses only JFW. How sad is that??

I agree. I was a staunch JFW user until about three years ago when I discovered that te latest version of JFW wouldn't read PDF documents correctly without some modification to a setting in Adobe Acrobat or even JFW itself. I need hardly point out that when I discovered that Window-Eyes reads them correctly right out of the box the decision to switch was easy. And since GW offers two payment plans it was easy for me to buy it despite being unemployed. So the fact that the Commission for the Blind wouldn't pay for it didn't matter. Needless to say though Browse Mode gets refreshed a lot on sites like Youtube and though this is slightly inconvenient I'm more than willing to wait for the problem to be fixed if such a solution can be found. I like that GW doesn't rush their updates the way other companies seem to. I've had folks tell me that the reason they rush is because they have more customers, but I can't help wondering if that would continue to be treu if the schools and agencies who have contracts with the competition actually informed their clients that there were indeed other options available. We are the Knights who say...Ni! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Louis" <[email protected]> To: "Tom Kingston" <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2010 12:09 AM Subject: Re: latest firefox refreshes more? > Raul my sympathies go out to you and the rest of the GW staff as well. > Window Eyes isn't perfect but it is sure excelent and Window Eyes > offers more value and more enhancements compared to other screen > readers.
