Hi, Dan. Congratulations! However, you will be missed. Thanks for all
you've accomplished at GW Micro and now AISquared. My continuing
employment was, in many respects, due to you and GW Micro's commitment
to helping those of us who are blind or visually impaired by developing
Window-Eyes to where it is today. Imagine what it might have been like
if I had to buy multiple copies of a screenreader package just to do my
job? The competition would have required it, since I had to oversee
eight PC's in my facility, and each had to have a screenreader installed
so I could do everything from start them up at the beginning of the day,
to perfoming security checks on them at random. If you folks didn't
understand my predicament, I might have lost this job, due to the sheer
expense of having to have multiple screenreader packages purchased and
installed.
Aside from all the above, though, thanks for your service and effort at
making Window-Eyes work for us, thereby helping us go to work.--Matthew
Chao (also retired)

I am retiring.
My career in the Assistive Technology industry started in the late 80's, working for
Computer Aids Corp. for a couple years, where I met Doug Geoffray. Then I partnered
with Doug to launch GW Micro in 1990 which operated for 24 years, followed by our
merging into Ai Squared in 2014. So now, after almost 28 years in the AT industry,
it's time for me to take a break. I will be retired from Ai Squared after this week.
No worries - the rest of the Fort Wayne office and staff will continue as normal -
whatever normal means <smile>.
I'm not very active on this list but I look at many of the posts and I know
many of your names even if we rarely talk on the phone or meet in person. I
will continue to support Ai Squared and if the opportunity presents itself who
knows - I might come back for a few special projects from time to time. Thank
you very much for your support and friendship.
One thing I understand - this industry is very different from all others. The
people I know not only want to stay active, employed or stay in business but
they also want to make the world a better place by providing quality products
and services. You should all be proud of whatever contribution you personally
make.
Thank you all again for your friendship and loyalty over the many years.
Take care,
Dan
