Hi all,

Before I started using JAWS in 2001, I was using HAL when at Colege, between 
1987 and 1990.  I don't know which version I was using.

During the mid 1990's, I was using a combibraille 45 which did have a voice 
on it but I didn't use this much.

Paul.

wondering before jaws came along what was the way blind users could access 
computers? And another question. I asked someone once was there an older 
version of windows 95 and he said "yes" it was called windows 3.1 so I was 
just wondering what was it like to use that version of windows. Sorry its an 
old question but I'm interested. Seriously!
