[JAWSLite] Re: jawslite@freelists and jfw@freelists

Hi,
As your moderator, I want you to know that there are no stupid questions
here. If anyone gets on you for asking one just tell me and I will deal
with it.

Thanks.

Hi
   If I remember correctly Jawslite was for less experienced Jaws users,
while JFW was for more experienced ones.  Personally I wish there was still

the Idiot proof.  A lot of times I don't know enough to ask good questions.

Hi Bruce,
Believe me, my ego will permit me to dump the list in a heartbeat if it is
not useful.

             Please respond to

A few reasons. First, many blind people see an inherent need to have a
list for everything: Canadian JAWS users, American JAWS users, JAWS
users with pointy noses, JAWS users who like Strawberry ice cream on
Tuesdays and Thursdays when it's not raining and there's a full moon the
following Wednesday, that sort of thing. Second, the lists are owned by
two different people. Thirdly, the traffic volume is different on both
lists. I peronsally would be happy to see the two lists merge, but it's
not likely to. I'm off to start a list for JAWS users who wish they had
a can of coke in their hands but can't because the Coke machine's
broken.
