Hi peter and all
Unfortunately, with so much misinformation flying around, people think
that free equals inferior. In other words you pay for what you get.
State agencies have been brainwashed into thinking that you really do
need to pay over a thousand bucks for a screenreader that's worth a hill
of beans, and the government contracts ain't helping much either. I hate
the idea of it too. In principle, I agree that these agencies should use
Window-eyes, but they're going to need a healthy dose of recommendations
from Microsoft, or some other name that these agencies trust. For years
JAWS has just been the De facto standard and you could get Window-eyes
but you had to pull a lot of strings, and you were warned that
Window-eyes wouldn't be quite as good.
I'm certain that some state agencies will eventually switch, but like I
say with the misinformation flying around out there, it's gonna be
tough. One person already demonstrated that earlier today, and it's
really sad because the information they were spouting simply is not
true. Trust me it angers me too. I'm just getting inside the heads of
some of these folks. Trust me it's scary.

Well I don’t think rehab agencies will be so stupid as to pay for a
product when people can get a free product of better worth for free.
Certainly colleges and universities won’t!
