Hi Chip, I have no words to express how much I appreciate all of the stuff you have done to help others do Window-eyes scripting. I personally appreciate your teaching style, and your clear explanations, especially that you take the time to explain things as people need to know them. My learning style likes lots of words and small examples, and the classes I have listened to so far have been just great. You never talk down to anyone and you make it feel like anyone can learn this stuff. Hopefully before too long, I'll be able to contribute something useful because of it.
Thanks.
