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.
