I remember the Artic stuff. I remember their demo package was much more
polished than most. They had a high-end recording of some cat demonstrating
many of the features. There was a pedal you could get for the device that
worked something like the pedals on Dictaphone machines allowing you to
rewind and fast forward in your reads to end. As for WordPerfect, I am not
sure we ever had it better as far as access to mainstream apps.

Does anybody remember PC Talks and the old Voltrax synthesizers? What about
Artic Business Vision and Win Vision? They worked great with WordPerfect 5.

Flipper! Now that is a blast from the past. I had set money aside for the
purchase of Flipper as my first DOS screen reader. Then Vocal-Eyes came out,
and since I knew Doug from the old Comp Aids days, I went that route
instead.

How well I remember back in the early days of Real-eyes discussing Dos 4.0
and of course Windows 3.1.
Screen readers of the day included Vocal-Eyes, Isos, Tiny-talk, Flipper,
ASAP, and of course Window Bridge.
And, was I amazed that the first computer I purchased back in 1992 featured
a wopping 40 megabyte hard drive!
I sure recieved some great assistance and advice back then from the
fledgling Real-Eyes group and its members.
So here's to the next 20 years!
