For those of you who live outside the United States, over here, as children we played a kids game called King of the Hill. You probably have something similar.
This game is played outside and on a very small hill, so small that only one person can stand on the top of the Hill at a time. at the start of the game, all Players are at the bottom of this little hill. When someone yells Go! Everyone runs, Pushes, Pulls, Tackles, and does what ever they need to do to get to the top of this Hill. And if you happen to get there, once you are on the top, you do what ever it takes to keep anyone else from dislodging you from the top spot. Tripping, Dragging, Pulling, yanking, tackling, and if no one is looking, Punching and kicking is allowed. Anything to get the guy at the top off, and for you to take his place. A rather rough and tumble game, probably outlawed these days. Since most American children are Wrapped in three layers of Bubble Wrap before they are allowed to go outside to play in the Sand Box. But, I do suspect JAWS of playing Dirty Pool when it came to putting GW Micro out of Business. Seems today so many are quick to call a Lawyer to force someone against their will to pay through the nose. Over the years, I have had friends that used Jaws, and most of them knew next to nothing about Jaws or their computers, so I would help them out, and occasionally call the Jaws Support line. I never had a good call. Never! And after calling twice the other day, in an attempt to get help with Window Eyes, I have yet to have a good experience with the Support from the Company that owns Jaws and now Window Eyes. Just one of the reasons why I haven't switched over to Jaws, and even to this day, am very reluctant to do so. I will when I am forced to do so, because NVDA is not quite up to what I need a screen reader to do. I recall getting part of the Jaws manual, so I could read it to teach a friend of mine something that should have been simple. I did figure it out, but that Jaws manual must have been written in some Foreign language, and then translated to another foreign language, and then that second foreign language manual was used to translate another manual into English! That manual was not easy to follow, understand, or to get much of anything useful. This was in the late 1990's, and I can only hope their manuals are better today than back then. Sorry to see that VFO has come out as King of the Hill. Time will tell if VFO is going to do anything with Window Eyes. So far, the Silence is not a good sign.
