Albert, if you saw the post by Rick Harman, you should listen to it and I think you'll feel less nervous about what is coming up concerning Freedom Scientific.

Hello Yardbird,their seems too be another source regarding this subject. My girlfriend, is on a list called handigirl, and that's how I heard about this information. One of the things that I'm woried about with this move, is the fact that perhaps, many of the blind people who worked for them, will soon be out of a job. And, if their is a jaws soft ware program in the future, that any tech support that we need will be out sourced, and thus the people that they may hirer, won't know anything about the program at all. Someone also told me through researching it, that this company may be a middle Easterncompany. Hope that I don't get into any trouble for posting this too you on list, But I'm a little concerned with the state of affairs here.----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2007 6:36 PM Subject: Re: FS In Good CompanyRespectfully, Adrian, I must disagree. I believe people should tell us where they've gotten information that they're discussing with such concern. Attribution is very important. I wouldn't have had to ask anything in the first place if just one person had said that he'd gotten the news from a company blog and that for some reason he was inclined to disbelieve it. I don't know why you're so put out, but I think my interest is perfectly legitimate. If you don't, sorry. Let a hundred flowers bloom and so forth. it's a very big courtyard. In the spring. Tra la, tra la. Two points for the source of that allusion.

I'd gladly skip messages with this subject line, but the fate of FS is important, which means getting stuck on these side roads going nowhere. It would be hard for a moderator to impose limitations because the angle is technically on-topic, so it's up to us to use some judgment to show respect for each other's time. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Rick, no one said on this list that the news had come from a company blog, not from an official statement or press release. I had to learn that from another mailing list. So you see why I wondered why all the doubt? Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Harmon" <rharmon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2007 2:10 PM Subject: Re: FS In Good Company I felt like it. I wanted to be sure anything I pass around is a fact and not a rumor.

It's pretty crazy what come companies own.
