Dear all,
Would any of you enlighten fellow members like me on whether or
not that the typical user to download this beta 8 release or not? I
know that beta and alpha stages just that it has been a while in the
context of Window-Eyes. The last upgrade was like what two years ago?
So, thanks for giving what your advice on us novice users on this
matter.
sincerely,
Peter Q Wolfe, BA
