Just getting to my email after an emergency. I think that's a great idea Rod. It's a shame VFO claimed to support the product at least through the website and list, and already they are dropkicking us users. No real surprise there. We have to keep things in our hands as much as possible.

Hi. What you said makes sense. For me there are things that actually work better in NVDA than they do in Jaws which surprises me quite a bit. If you use Thunderbird's message list NVDA does a far better job than Jaws does. If you delete an unread message from the list Jaws rereads the

You know, I too am tempted to believe, NVDA will take over some screen reader users. For one thing, as NVDA becomes yet more powerful, and widely known, it might happen that paying authorities or cherities, will refuse to pay hundreds (or in translated version thousands) of dollars for Jaws.
