[nvda] Re: More NVDA promoting

Good man. This is more important than many may realize as after a while we forget just how many ppl have never even heard of NVDA, or heard of it a year or more ago when it was much more limited. Especially among non-techys who may not have contact with more tech savvy blind people it is still easy to live a life ignorant of the bliss of the NVDA-verse...lol... I do hear more about NVDA all the time, so we are making progress, and whether it's assisting one blind contact to install or learn to use some feature of NVDA, or speaking to a rehab pro things will snowball as James, Mick, and crew are holding up their end admirably. Just for reference, I'd not even heard of NVDA until I saw these unknown initials on a usenet group a few times, and asked "what the h e double toothpicks is NVDA". As I am a proponent of FOS when possible I decided to try, and fortunately it wasn't all that long before the 2009-beta came out, and it no longer was a case of hanging with NVDA a bit because of abstract principles and the price, but as close as there is to true love when it comes to software. 
Cheers,Burt

Hello all,
I am just writing to let you know I have recommended NVDA to a rehab
worker I am going to have. She came and have a chat to me to talk about
what I would like to do when I get my own place. Getting back on topic,
she asked what screen reader I use, and I told her about NVDA. She was
very interested in the fact it's free and open source and, for most
users, surpasses JAWS or other commercial products. So she is going to
check this out and hopefully recommend it to her clients.
Well just wanted to let you know that I am definitely promoting NVDA to
the VI community.
