Hi Netbat: How do we know that Window-eyes will go away? For all we know, we may get a new hybrid screenreader which will combine the best features of JAWS and Window-eyes. A couple of suggested names for such a hybrid screen reader might be
1. Window-JAWS 2. Window-eyes confusion 3. JAWS Confusion. Does anybody want to add to the list? :) Kevin Huber On 6/14/16, net bat via Talk <[email protected]> wrote: > if you don't like free speech delete it. > i have used window eyes over jaws for 25 years. it was then and is now much > > easier to use and configure myself which i couldn't do with jaws. now this > choice will be gone and jaws will be the only choice i have. > > -----Original Message----- > From: RJ Sandefur via Talk > Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2016 11:28 AM > To: Darrell Bowles ; Window-Eyes Discussion List > Subject: Re: VFO acquisition of Ai Squared > > Will you please stop wining like children! > > > On 6/14/2016 1:53 PM, Darrell Bowles via Talk wrote: >> Of course I do. >> >> Sent from my iPhone >> >>> On Jun 14, 2016, at 1:52 PM, Robert Ringwald via Talk >>> <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> Does anyone know the word "Monopoly???" >>> >>> -Bob Ringwald >>> >>> >>> -----Original Message----- From: Doug Geoffray via Talk >>> Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2016 9:18 AM >>> To: Window-Eyes Discussion List >>> Subject: VFO acquisition of Ai Squared >>> >>> Hello everyone, >>> >>> I wanted to chime in here and give my personal thoughts to the bombshell >>> released today regarding VFO (the parent company of Freedom Scientific >>> and Optelec) acquiring Ai Squared.
