Thanks, Chip,
I am in contact with some individuals to try to get info from users if any
video card support JAWS and MAGIC used together.
My simple question has always been and I did read the website-- if
there have been any video cards actually ever " tested for joint use of
JAWS and
MAGIC.
Although MAGIC 8 and particularly 9 are good products and although JAWS is a
fine product used alone,
all the companies that make enlarging software "say" that screen readers
and enlarging software can be used together.
I have asked every one by telephone that can be asked and now am writing to
individuals to find out if there is any video cards suporting joint usage.
That is the fairest manner I can find for trying to find an answer and,
Chip, I tend over time to agree more and more with what you say.
