[Blindmath] Ai Squared joins VFO, home of Freedom Scientific and Optelec

[John J. Boyer]

I have had bad expereriences trying to get JAWS technical support, now 
that it is handled by vfo-group. It's the usual merger story. The 
acquiring company tries to save money in the short term while 
sacrificing long-term prospects. The same thing happened some years ago 
when Henter-Joyce and Blazie Engineering were merged to form Freedom 
Scientific. Meanwhile, i have no access to my Windows computer. Beware!
