It was a nice discussion, but let's get back on topic about your dream app. If you want to complain about Congress, feel free to email each other privately. <smile> The topic for this thread is if you could pay for a Window-Eyes app, what would it be? Or, even perhaps an accessible stand-alone app like GWConnect that you could pay for, what would it be? Thanks in advance for staying on topic in future posts!
