Hi all,
<LOL> expensive? Expensive? <LOL> Johnny, my friend, you don't know the
half of it! System Access is the "Low priced spread". If you're
balking at $500.00, you should look at Window-Eyes at $895.00 or Jaws
at $1,195.00. Oh, <LOL> expensive! Both Open Book and Kurzweil
software for the scanner costs $995.00. You are yelling about
$500.00. Oh, <LOL> now maybe you can understand why some of us keep
our rates down to an absolute minimum so that people who have to shell
out money for software can get the tutoring they so desperately need?
Maybe now you can understand the frustration we feel when every single
piece of adaptive equipment or software costs the moon because the
market is so small? Oh, <LOL> sorry to give you such an eye opener, but
it's kinda necessary. System Access is a good, low priced solution
for people seeing access without all the bells and whistles offered by
higher priced software. The problem here is that because SA only
supports two braille displays, the deaf-blind, an even smaller market,
are forced to pay even more money to get access. Life is, as they say,
most definitely not fair sometimes.
Still chuckling sardonically,
Ann P.
