You have placed your finger on an issue which is really disturbing many
older computer users.

Take my case for example.  I am 73 years old and currently  live in a
retirement  center.  My retirement  income is fixed while all other expenses
including  the retirement center  rates are constantly increasing!

I am currently using Windows xp and  Jaws 10, well reverted to  Jaws 10 when
Jaws 11 didn't work properly.

What is this NDVA, hope that  how you spell it? About the only internet  use
I do is to download NLS books, do email and occasionally order something on
line.  Both Jaws and Microsoft is pricing  older users on small fixed income
out of the market.   We don't have a rehab counselor to buy all this  neat
stuff for us, but  have to struggle along with what we have.

So if this NDVA is a less expensive  screen review  program I am interested
in learning  more about it.

Also is there a more reasonable priced internet software program?  Microsoft
is just as guilty as Henter Joyce in pricing  those on fixed incomes out of
the market.

Hey, would like to hear from other seniors in expressing your feelings about
this  problem.

Thanks much for listening to me vent off about this critical situation!
