hello.
Believe it or not, that isn't an answer to the question I posed to this
other person. But it's nice to know you have strong feelings that probably
agree with his. that's very good. Please understand that I wasn't responding
to what you assume him to be saying. I wasn't entering into that discussion
at all. But this isn't the place to try to explain, so don't worry about it.
Be well, take care.

hi
Personally, I think the very idea of charging any extra for JAWS to
run under a different operating system is highway robbery and FS
should be called to task for it and be made to stop.
None of the other major screenreaders do this, so why people allow FS
to get away with this is quite beyond me. it's wrong.
