Hi guys It really bothers me that a company that makes specialized software would make a remark about not doing software for us totally blind folks because they couldn't make any money on it. First of all, I have a real problem that there is a special software for the totally blind folks, and another software for others. But they really need, is Kurzweil 4000, to combine everything. I see no reason why they can't do it. It seems to me, they just don't want to. Besides, if one is a partially sighted person, and they buy an expensive program that they can use with their vision, and their vision gets worse, then they have to spend big bucks to get a different program. I see no reason why the disabled community should support that kind of attitude. Regards Gigi
