Hi Joe And Folks!
I don't think Window-Eyes is going anywhere in the near future, they are
still sellin SMAs and according to what they said to me about 3 to 4
days ago they will be selling them for the near future. I guess
anything could happen between now and then, but I am certainly not going
to spend my time speculating about something that might or might not
happen. You know the world might get struck by an astroid and all this
discussion would be for not<SMILE!>. Enjoy Window-Eyes while it is here
and if for some reason it happens to go away, we will just have to find
another screen reader. Have A Good 1! de

Yes, I hear you loud and clear. I was around when when the lies was just beginning
and I was swayed by the very helpful people who had me sitting in the chair using
vocalize instead of just "preaching about its merits. What a great day that was
for me I believe it was at one of the major summer convention.

All I can definitively tell you is this folks, I work full time professionally
as an assistive technology instructor with a blindness agency every day. At a
recent retreat, the thinking throughout the room did most certainly seem to be
that VFO most likely does have plans to quote unquote, kill off, Window-eyes,
either now or in the not too distant future. The question I asked was, why are
we, that is the assistive tech department, going to officially be promoting the
use of NVDA as a free screen reader, and not Window-eyes? My logic being that
Window-eyes can also essentially be free as well. That's when several replies
came back that gave me the distinct impression that Window-eyes' days may in
truth be numbered. I hope that's not the case; I've been a customer of Gw Micro
since the Vocal-eyes days! Anyone here remember those days? Back when it used
to be Jaws for Dos, versus Vocal-eyes? I remember when it used to be Arkenstone
who sold Openbook, not Freedom Scientific. I
d
o feel that Gw Micro personnel do need to innovate, and do need to perhaps
learn new ways of becoming freshly and aggressively competitive. I certainly
hope the shark doesn't gobble up everybody, yuck!
