Hi Eric,
And I am certainly one of those thousands who are benefiting both
professionally and personally from computers and Jaws. I remember I had just
started to learn computing and Jaws when I met you at the Sight Village in
Birmingham in the summer of 2002 and as a 22 year old law graduate my life
was stuck as I was left with no useful sight. Whatever I have achieved over
the last six years is largely due to Jaws and computers and no doubt one has
to be patient in developing these new skills just like any other field.
Keep up the good work and God Bless!
Many Thanks

George,
I recall well George, and there are thousands of users around the world
today that benefit from the technology because of the support customers like
you gave us back in the early days of Henter-Joyce, with those first
releases of JAWS for Windows. It has come along way over the last
15 years for sure. I look forward to the next 15.
Regards,
Eric

Hi David, Rick, Erick & all:
Just had to insert a word or two into this thread: I loss my vision in
1973 and retrained as a computer programmer *(I was an accountant).
Computers and HJ provided me with 25 years of good income before retiring. I
have every version of JAWS beginning with version 1 and now 10. Eric I
think you will recall I worked 19 years for the Lee County Florida School
System as a systems analyst, here in Fort Myers. I don't know what I would
have done without computers and JAWS, we have came a long ways from version
1.
Thanks to all,
George R. Marshall
