Well put! I add my applause to these. That is an impressive list of
apps. What's even more so is that they are free. I, for one, would
pay money for EdSharp. I am surprised an adaptive technology company
hasn't tried to purchase the rights to it and some of these others
here like, for instance, WinDig. Hope they never do but, that is
purely selfish of me, I know but there you have it.
