Dear Dorothy, and List Members,I did not want to give any of you fine folks the impression I am a cave man, and just using a old Gateway machine which I purchased in early 1999, which runs Windows 98 (first Edition) JAWS 5 and I think Open Book 6, but I also have a Dell with XP-Home with JAWS 11 latest updates, and Open Book 7.02.The point here especially for Dave is that things have not gotten better for Blind computer users, Microsoft Windows users, nor JAWS users, they have gotten worse, as I have not had a single problem with my old computer's configuration for 11 years.Can any say that about what they are using right now, with JAWS 12, Windows 7?Not I!!

He basically came to say he was developing a Screen Reading software.I must tell you, I did not take him very serious, nor did I think many ofthe nearly 30 attendents didI actually chuckled to myself of course, when he took the speakers stand andstarted his presentation, "How does this guy think he can go up against Digital Equipment Company, DEC Talk, the IBM Screen Reader, Giant corporations that could throw as much money into their Screen reading software programs as they cared to". I had not a clue that he was on to something fantastic! I remember him as a very kind soft spoken, cordial gentleman. I am so glad it worked out for him, and us!
