RE: Question About Android phone, Off Topic
I agree with that statement. I have chosen to go forward with NVDA, pluss JFW for CakeTalking access with Sonar, although when I get the production computer upgraded to windows 10, it will be NVDA and Narrator, and Reaper for the reason that you will have to keep your screen reader current going forward or lose out. -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+skyt=shaw...@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Bernie Perella via Talk Sent: Saturday, December 29, 2018 2:45 PM To: Jim via Talk Cc: Bernie Perella Subject: Re: Question About Android phone, Off Topic Hi Jim, I suppose that I can't say I have never looked back after purching an Android phone and tablet, but not because I long for something else. Rather, I a still using my Windows computer with Windows 1809. I am still using it because I still am using a couple of programs that I like and don't yet have one to replace them. for example, I really like the APH program Moneytalks and wish they would port it to another platform but don't think that will happen. I have found Android and all the phone features pretty easy to learn and unlike We, there are no profiles, no setfiles etc. At this point I am in process of getting office apps for android and that is going rather well. I know there are some on this list who are still hanging onto older versions of windows and WE but I certainly would recommend to them that they really get started on choosing a path on which to move forward. Note that MS is now supporting only the most recent versions of Windows and IE is going by the by. So, while one still has a working system, one could begin to think about and start making the change. while I have made my choice, I don't want to tell others what they should do. Take care and have a happy new years. Bernie On 12/29/2018 4:22 PM, Jim via Talk wrote: > Hi there Bernie! > > Well I went from the Apple iPhone 4 S to the Galaxy s5 and have never > looked back!

Re: Question About Android phone, Off Topic
Hi there Bernie! Well I went from the Apple iPhone 4 S to the Galaxy s5 and have never looked back! Oh I still think about it but the Apple really hasn't shown me any good reason to switch. Not that I wouldn't if I saw a good reason. I have been very happy with my Android phones and will probably stay with them for the immediate future! Just My 2-Sense worth!
