Indeed, why not. But one already has one's hands on the keyboard answering some other email, and happens to think of this, and knows that on this list he's in the company of nothing but other Jaws users and Freedom Scientific customers,, and types the message, rather than launch Windows Explorer, go to his Addresses folder, tab into the files list view, press F a few times to get to freedomscientific.txt, press enter to open the file, arrow down past other information until coming to the phone number for sales and service, commit the number to memory, remove hands from the keyboard, take the phone off the cradle, put it on speakerphone because one is deaf in his left ear and needs to dial with his right hand, punch in the number, then turn off the speakerphone, witch the handset to the right hand, and wait for the first outgoing message and menu prompt. Maybe one finds it easier to press Control N, type jfw in the To header and let Windows finish it, tab down, type a quick subject, tab again, and pose the question. One is a good typist, and this is hardly any effort at all, at that moment, by comparison. Sometimes decisions get made that way. No biggie. thanks very much for the helpful suggestion, and happy holidays to you and yours. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dale Leavens" <dleavens@xxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 3:08 PM Subject: Re: Will Freedom Scientific be closed all next week?
