Hi here is what I am not getting. Jaws is a scriptable screen reader. It
is the only full fledged windows screen reader that is. This means because
it is we have the power to change thing update things etc. Lets take foo
bar 2000 a media player I started to use for it enhanced play list
capability. Now winamp is still the best but the foo bar play list is just
neat. Any way. I tried it with jaws and it had issues. I try it with
window eyes it also had issue. So I went back to jaws and am fixing the
issues so the program can behave as it should. Now the jaws ui sucks but
so what jaws is the only program where I can get in with a scripting
langwige that has the accessibility tools in the box and fix things. So
some times it does not always do what I want but jaws still has the most
power. Hence the more bang for the buck.

and I'm right behind Bruce. Come on, y'all, get serious here. You
guys know FS doesn't pay attention to this list, so whining here
won't solve anything. You wanna get FS where they live, enccourage
your state to go with another developer. FS does a lot of business
with government contracts, so if they start losing those, maybe
they'll start paying attention. if someone gives you a crappy product
and you keep right on buying it, that just tells them that they have
it in the bag and don't need to keep up with the demands of the consumers.
