Um, excuse me, but don't tell us we can't click the mouse. We can, and we will with the ever so amazing key pad. Also, window-eyes is the best screen reader, and I'm not switching to something else. The folks at gw-micro know what they're doing, and know what they are talking about, because if you say that we can't click the mouse, you are wrong buddy. I bet you haven't even had any experience with screen readers. I'm agreeing with Chip, your messages don't make sense. And, you didn't even tell us where the demo was, so why am I going to give up my favorite product, and move to something very crappy and unstable? Gw, you are doing fantastic, and keep it up!
