Hi Grant. Your absolutely right. The reason why JAWS got the government agencies was because they sued any state agencies who did not purchase JAWS. In other words, they threatened the agencies to either buy JAWS or be sued and that scared the agencies so much that they began purchasing only

Hi dave, You have many good points with respect to business expenses and compotition. Unfortunately, The Shark got the government involved in purchasing their product and so made it difficult for other screen reader programs to be as well funded as VFO is. I suspect that because the government

Pam, I solved the problem of WLM losing focus every time an email comes in. I set the parameter for WLM to check the internet for new email to about 4-hours. Now when I want to check to see if there is any new email, I do an F5. It sure is nice to not have WE lose focus right in the middle

One thing that might be worth thinking through here, is to what extend it would be worth forcing people into another product. Sure, it is an economic question for a company how many products to have running simultaneously. Yet, it is an economic question for the market, to what extend they

I don't think GW Micro sold its Customer's out. Cash Flow has been a problem for a while, and GW Micro started to sell future Upgrades to make up for the low Cash Flow. JAWS does this, and I forget what they are called. SMA's? Anyway, when you sell future upgrades at a discount, chances

Matthew, I strongly disagree with your Political comments.And it is best that you keep them at least off this list. With that being said, I would like to talk to someone that would have rather had the election go another way. Would you be willing to talk with me, either by Phone, or by

Tell you what - if we're forced to by Shark, I may just forget about Windows machines as much as I can. Being forced into a screenreader and culture I don't like is like having our new president-elect take officve. I like neither of them. Just my thoughts.--Matthew Chao On 11/22/2016

I feel the need to develop this discussion point, as the betrayal of customers has extended to at least another company in the VFO group. I have an Optelec braille display, the 40 cell Alva Comfort. The Optelec website has not offered Windows 10 drivers, its hot key references for

You know I feel this as well; The thing is that Since Asquared bought out GWMicro the software has not gotten any better; the tech support has gotten lax in what they do; and lets face it the main contributers for the Window eyes screen reader have all but gone. So Yes I do agree the writing
