People can become sick, move away, decide that scanning stuff isn't right
for them, enjoy using Fine Reader better instead of K 1000 for example.
There is a mass market in used CCTVs and I have seen notetakers, and screen
reading software for sale in the backs of Braille Forum and Braille Monitor.
Why not Kesy, smile.
After all she can only ask.
I recieved a brailler from a elderly neighbor's sister, who could no longer
use it. I received several writing guides from my previous place of
employment because they didn't know what they were, but i did.
So... it happens.
I do know one individual who sold his copy of Kesy on Ebay, as he didn't
want it anymore. Why I don't know but he did.

Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

Amy if I donated my copy of k1000 I would give up my license. I would then
have to buy a new copy to get a license. I simply cannot think of a reason
why anyone would donate a copy of a licensed program to someone unless that
person died and no longer needed a scanning software package. If, for
instance, the person wanted to change from Open Book to K1000, Kurzweil has
a trade in policy but the person has to give kurzweil their OB license
number. Hope this makes the process clearer.
