that's how life goes, folks. Change is inevitable and you have to
figure out how to go with it.
Whining on an email list ain't gonna solve jack.

Yes, it does seem as if those who sell products to earn a living, cannot
resist the temptation to change it, and changing it sometimes is for the
better, but many times, the changes is one or two steps backwards.
Marketing puts pressure on Development to come up with something NEw NEW
NEW, and so Development does, and Marketing is Happy, but is the end
user always happy?
Most people that use a computer, are not Computer Geeks. They use the
computer, to do their jobs, or to do their household duties, Bill paying
etc.
and when Microsoft, or who ever comes out with their latest offering,
people are forced to re=learn what they had already learned in the
earlier edition of the same software.
I talk with people all over the country, and I do this on my job. And
computers is what we talk about. Time and time again, people have told
me, they do not like Big Big changes. Changes big enough to require
them to look at the latest edition and wonder where they start, because
the new edition is so different.
Now it takes three steps to do what once took two, or even one.
In the case of Screen Readers, now our Readers read even less of the
program than it did before.
this is what I mean by going backwards.
I have no solution, as it seems that Change is the best way to gain
new customers but once these customers are familiar with the program,
any major changes are not welcome, unless those changes streamline the
work the program does for the user.
One Step forward and Two Steps back?
<Smirk> this is not Progress, just in case anyone is confused.
