I am disappointed that industry insiders seemed unable or unwilling to investigate what has been going on. Such investigations are expensive, but the NFB used to be very good at exposing unethical and dishonest behaviour. Those occasional lifting the lids on bad agency practices were what

Curtis: I agree with much of what you have said below. Add: my stupid confusion over who, where, what, Window-Eyes. The Readme talks about AI Squared. It does not promote VFO Group. Neither does it include old fashioned street addresses. I am not clear as to where Window-Eyes is based -

Hi all. I intend to use this message to also discuss list moderation and user support requirements. Prompted by a list member's comment that Support did not know about the braille display freezing problem: I've browsed through the list archives. If you do a simple search just on braille,

Unfortunately: braile display failure when running Firefox or Internet Explorer is a frequent occurrence, although I do not get the same error message that you've described. VFO are overdue in my book to fix this. When we had GW Micro, and then AI Squared, several users reported a similar

However: wil we get significant upgrades which have ben paid for in advance? There is a backlog of user requests for fixes, which had credibility when key personnel were contactable. The SMA in my mind supported good customer loyalty, and respect from within to customers who provided feeddback.

And it also seems that you can cite its Focus Braille Displays as a product line developing a reputation, but not improved upon. And: remember their PacMate? This latest Window-Eyes update is really an essential fix to keep it running, and the same was required for Zoomtext. Speaking of

With respect - even if Window-eyes development and sales cease, continued use of Window-eyes will lock people into legacy computing. I've just fought unsuccessfully with Window-eyes, Internet Explorer and my bank's web site and my non-technical view is that the bank makes changes to its

Hi all. List member comments regarding VFO support once again raise the question as to the future of Window-Eyes. For those who do not like this thred - hit delete "now." But for me - the burning question for sometime has been the absence of critical, informed insider comment. We are in

I agree with you Don, but perhaps Doug does look in from time to time. According to the notification of the need to update Window-Eyes, he does have a management role, not a customer support function. So: managers couldn't be expected to wade through the noise on this list as it was in the
