Subject: I met Ted Henter in 1990


Dear Friends,
Well, I met Ted Henter in November 1990 when he came to a Blind Computer
Users Group I had founded here in Miami.
He basically came to say he was developing a Screen Reading software.

I must tell you, I did not take him very serious, nor did I think many of
the nearly 30 attendents did

I actually chuckled to myself of course, when he took the speakers stand and
started his presentation, "How does this guy think he can go up against
Digital Equipment Company, DEC Talk, the IBM Screen Reader, Giant
corporations that could throw as much money into their Screen reading
software programs as they cared to".

I had not a clue that he was on to something fantastic!
I remember him as a very kind soft spoken, cordial gentleman.
I am so glad it worked out for him, and us!

With Best Regards,
Alan
