The great thing about a list like this is that we can all help each other, so the good karma goes around and around and nourishes our souls as much as it enrichesour skills.

Yardbird, you seem like a really nice person. Best of luck with your writing career. I have considered doing some writing too. We all needpeople who are technically oriented to help us because we are so dependenton the computer to access information etc. Rodney Neely blindlion@xxxxxxxxxxx----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 3:22 PM Subject: Re: Will Freedom Scientific be closed all next week?Hi Rodney, thanks for being understanding about the name thing. I know that the handlesometimes confuses people especially if they're using a screen reader andhear it spoken in the JFW Say All mode, and then try to imagine how it's written. But this handle was the nickname of the famous jazz alto sax player Charlie parker (whom fans and friends called "Bird," for short), and the Sixties English rock group The Yardbirds used the name as a tribute. I'm not a professional musician, although I do play a couple of instruments, including saxophone, but I'm a devoted jazz fan and that's how I picked the handle for myself when I established this email account.As far as work goes, I'm afraid I can't say anything very helpful. firstofall, there seem to be a number of folks on this list who have it all overme, in terms of technical expertise. And my own kind of work is very different. I'm a writer, formerly a feature writer for a Hollywood film industry magazine, and now working exclusively on essays and other literary projects. What I've learned about computers and screen readers owes a lot to having lost enough sight so that I had to start using Jaws, and then learned a lot from people on lists like this one. So I'm more the student than the teacher. And when things really get difficult, one of my best friends is an I T professional, and he helps me out of a lot of serious jams. But I hope if you ask around on these lists, someone can help you figure out some ways in which to help your friend in his or her search for good employment. Best of luck with that, and good for you just for trying to network around and get some advice.----- Original Message ----- From: "Rodney Neely" <blindlion@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 11:41 AM Subject: Re: Will Freedom Scientific be closed all next week? Okay, Yardbird. I apologize for not reading your message more carefully and for capitalizing your screen-name incorrectly. How do you use your familiarity with Jaws to make a living? Do you work with computers to provide tech support or something like that? The reason that I am asking this is that I have a friend who has your level of knowledge when it comes to using Jaws effectively. He is a great computer user, but he has had a difficult time finding his nitch in the world of work.

Let me ttry again. What I asked was if anyone happened to know whether FS will be closed from Christmas through New Year's. If you don't know, that's fine. Sorry if something I asked in my message wasn't clear. Also, I use only Jaws as a screen reader. If you reread my message, I hope you'll see that I didn't say I was subscribed to a Window Eyes list, if that's what you thought. So I can't advise you about that product, sorry.last, unless you're just trying to be funny, the handle is Yardbird, onesingle word. It's an old traditional nickname you may not be familiar with. It isn't a first and last name, nor is it a high tech product name with a capital in the middle of it. I hope that's more clear. Holiday best to you and yours, yardbird To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 8:09 AM Subject: Re: Will Freedom Scientific be closed all next week? YardBird: You seem to be very knowledgeable about Jaws, Freedom Scientific etc.But you seem to have a great deal of time on your hands to post to listsetc. What type of work do you do as a profession? How do you use Jaws with this type of work? Also, you might want to write me off-list about the second question in my email message. Do you think that I should consider purchasing Windoweyes? If so, why?I hope that the employees at Freedom Scientific and GW Micro enjoy theirvacations, if they get some time off for the holidays. I also hope that everyone on the list has a nice holiday. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Does anyone know if Freedom Scientific is planning to do the same thing? If so, I'd better order my SMA renewal before Friday to get it at the reduced price, even though I'm in a snit for the moment because their Jaws 8 shipment has failedto reach me all the way until now. Just feeling too annoyed to pony upmore money while they screw around delivering what I've already paid for. And with reportedly chintzy, insecure packaging, at that.
