Me too, Chris. Window-Eyes is my dailey product as well. -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+skyt=shaw...@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Chris Skarstad via Talk Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2016 10:54 AM To: Kim Lingo; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: Re: Window-eyes is still great
The future of Window-eyes may be in somewhat doubt but as long as they're still selling it and as long as people are using it it's still alive, and it's what I use on a daily basis. lets stop being so negative. The very moment I get official word from either VFO, or someone from AI Squared, i'm going on the idea that Window-eyes is still alive and kicking.
