For me it's a pride thing: One would expect a braille proofreader to type 
more accurately than I do. I think in my case it's just a matter of trying 
to get the thought down before it escapes me.

As for your migration to Linux, more power to you. But in my specific 
case, I invested a lot of my own money in JAWS and in Windows and its 
programs, and am not willing to throw that investment away. Also, since we 
use Windows at work, it's a good idea to keep my Windows skills sharp. 
And, to be honest, I want to see how this whole thing resolves itself.
