To those that complain about Jaws,
  No matter weather I find faults with the usage of Jaws or not I'd like you
to think about what the blind would do if there weren't such a screen
reading program. As blind computer users, we're just a very small part of
the computer users in the world today and unfortunately most companies today
are out for the big bucks, so instead of complaining why don't we thank our
lucky stars that somebody cares enough to make a product for us blind folks
to use. As for the problems and faults with Jaws program and Freedom
Scientific support people, I find you catch more flies with honey than
vinegar. I'd personally like to thank the Freedom Scientific programmers for
giving me an opportunity to be able to use the computer and for trying to
continue to improve on it.
   Tippy, A grateful Jaws user!
