Re: Musings and touching base
I also have a ipod touch. I bought a ipad mini and like it over the ipod touch for the following reasons. It has better sound and battery life than the ipod touch. Those of us who are using windows 10 have the choice of nvda or jaws. I'm still waiting to find out if window eyes will work with windows 10 1803? -Original Message- From: Rod Hutton via Talk Sent: Saturday, April 14, 2018 12:52 PM To: bjn...@windstream.net ; Window-Eyes Discussion List Cc: Rod Hutton Subject: RE: Musings and touching base Hi Brenda, Great to hear from you, and, as John said, I care too.

Musings and touching base
Greetings to all, I second Brenda's well wishes to GW Micro Staff! It is unfortunate that monopolies keep propping up in different industries via mergers and acquisition. case in point is Window Eyes being bought by Jaws parent company, and then stopping any further updates for Window Eyes. The other, is Scottrade, which had a website and an Elite program, which were both totally blind accessible. Ameritrade bought Scottrade then proceeded to throw away both the website and the elite program, and the Ameritrade website and trading programs are not accessible to the blind. In a sane world, How can this be justified? Stay well and May The Force be with us all!
