I agree ten thousand percent with your sentiments. I have also gotten JAWS
off all our computers and am running NVDA only. Regarding your sentiments
about the monopoly, I think that we should also include so-called blindness
organisations who are actually opposed to our work with NVDA here, because
it touches their little pockets.
A while ago, I was asked if I would be prepared to take part in an access
technology fair, all expenses paid, to which I replied that I would
participate, provided I would be allowed to demonstrate NVDA. Of course,
the answer was no. So I told them what they could do with their computer
fair.
Yours militantly pro NVDA.

I am not an expert, because "ex" means "has been" and "spert" is "a drip
under pressure".

I agree as well. Unfortunately due to financial constraints I am unable
to donate at this time. But NVDA is truly a wonderful screen reader. In
fact I have just completely removed Jaws from my computer. I'm strictly
NVDA all the way. As soon as I am able to afford it I will gladly donate
to this very worthy cause. In the meantime I hope NVDA continues to
improve and that it one day destroys the monopoly of Freedom Scientific
and, to a lesser extent, GW Micro. Although I can't complain to much
about GW Micro, as they have provided GW Connect, an accessible skype
client which works beautifully with NVDA. Freedom Scientific has taken no
such strides, believing their screen reader is the one and only, the
best. This, of course, is not the case. Keep NVDA going, definitely!

I aggree, its on my list.
Maybe I'll donate, or maybe when I get my new computer if I end up with
a couple hundred spare I'll upgrade my speech engine with ivona which
will give automatic donations.
Since I will probably buy all english uk and us voices and maybe a
japanese voice just for some games they will get a few bucks at least
from that.
its on my mind to donate, and some time in my life when I can afford to
donate yearly I will do so.

I think anyone who uses NVDA does owe Mick and James a little bit of a
living. You pay for your internet. Give a weeks worth of your internet
cost to NVDA. They need to live like us, and are working hard to do a
good thing. There is no guilt, but maybe those who feel guilty are the
ones who know that they do have $10 spare to give and are just not
doing it ?
