As I mentioned in an earlier email, just look at the history of IBM.
Once upon a time they were absolutely number one in all aspects of
Computer Land but, alas, no longer.
It was not all that long ago that Intel was the undisputed leader but
then along came AMD.
Apple is another great example. At one point in time they were clearly
the very best in the new micro business but they rested on their laurels
and, oops, someone removed the scaffolding and the whole thing fell off.
Today Apple has developed a very competent screen reader and thus their
product is much more desirable.
Hinter-Joyce created an excellent product and were very interested in
their customer satisfaction but then once upon a time there was a
company who created WordPerfect which was gobbled up by another company
and you know the rest of the story. Same scenario I think.

About ten years ago when someone said they had a fully equipped computer
it was usually with microsoft and the computer was something like a dell
or IBM. Today when you talk to different people there are tons of
computer manufacturers and certainly not all of the software is
microsoft. About five to ten years ago Apple computers were becoming a
thing of the past and now more and more folks are going back to Apple
for a variety of reasons. Freedom is not the only screen reader in the
world and the consumer will dictate who lives and who goes lower and
lower on the totem pole. It happens in every industry. Anyone want to
go back through the history of the automobile industry? Judith
