Thanks Andy for offering a positive comparison to jaws. You don't know how many times I've heard from organizations who have a single tech person assigned to support of screen readers (we only support jaws because it's easier that way, and it's better."
When I try to engage them in any sort of discussion, it soon turns out they only know jaws, and this is their real reason for promoting it ... it's easier for them.

Sometimes JAWS can't even see a form on a page that is obviously there. Sometimes JAWS will say that there is a button, but does nothing when you try to activate it. I recall that years ago AT trainers always suggested that you be accomplished in the use of at least two screen readers, and I guess that this advice is still true today.
