Thank you for sharing this. I paid for that last upgrade for JTools many were not too happy about having to, then have been waiting for the JTools team to bring it up to match the latest bill of JAWS, now several more have occurred. I emailed this person to inquire, as I wonder if our accounts will transfer and what costs we will have to get JTools current with JAWS.. since only those going backward can use the latest Jtools.

Hello. I' am taking this message with enormous unfortunateness. I wish to express my sincere gratitude to everyone at T&T-Consultancy, I' am pretty thankful to them, and to everything they have done to keep their clients satisfied. It is deeply sad to receive such a frustrating news, the ceasing of this company will remarkably be a thorough sorrow for many of its clients around the world. I just hope that's the significantly beneficial products such as J-Say and J-Tools may not be discontinued. Please explain to us, What about the T&T already registered clients?, will they be refunded?, Should we expect the loss of a similar business manufactures for the same cause?. Well, I hope not. Best Wishes. Its always hope that gives meaning to life. _____________________________________ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don" <donter@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <j-tools@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2012 5:08 AM Subject: [j-tools] Re: FW: The end of T&T Consultancy, was, feel free to share with whoever you see fit! > Thank you. > > -----Original Message----- > From: j-tools-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:j-tools-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] > On > Behalf Of Sue Martin > Sent: Wednesday, July 04, 2012 4:51 PM > To: j-tools@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [j-tools] FW: The end of T&T Consultancy, was, feel free to share > with whoever you see fit! > > > > From: Terry Clasper [mailto:terry.clasper@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Wednesday, July 04, 2012 2:14 PM > To: 'Sue Martin' > Subject: feel free to share with whoever you see fit! > > > > It is with deep regret, as Managing Director, I have to announce the > ceasing > of trading of T&T Consultancy Ltd. > > T&T, a UK owned company funded exclusively by Tracey and Terry Clasper and > Tracey Corfield, have been involved in the assistive technology arena > since > March 1999. > > As well as providing a broad range of services to people with Assistive > Technology needs within the UK, the company has also been responsible for > developing a range of products, the most well known of which is J-Say, > technology which without doubt makes a huge difference to the lives of > many > individuals with a challenging mix of needs.! > > This work we could not of achieved without having a dedicated team of UK > based employees, past and current, a terrific US commercial partner in the > shape of Next Generation Technologies, and a group of highly dedicated > unpaid individuals the world over who have been involved in the testing of > our products. > > > > However over the past year it has become more difficult, primarily due to > the challenges placed upon us by the UK economy, to sustain our operation, > and it is for this reason, and this reason alone, that a decision has been > made to call it a day! > > On behalf of everyone involved in our company over the past 13 years, I'd > like to take this opportunity to thank each and every person who has been > a > customer of T&T.
