Good evening everyone,

	We've heard numerous blind people say that it helps to use several
screen readers for the best results where accessing applications and
Internet resources is concerned. If you don't like JAWS and feel more
comfortable using another screen reader and get the desired results that's
awesome!We learned the hard way that creating additional sources to cove3r
the cost of access technology is a must! Like some on this list we too
started out on Social Security but responded positively when opportunity
knocked and can now cover the cost of access technology and other life
necessities. We were reminded of the failure to do this when our milk almost
ran out several days ago. Had we not listened to those who felt we didn't
need a deep freezer this wouldn't have happened to us. Lesson learned!

	All of this is to say that it's a good idea to master as much
adaptive technology including screen readers as possible  and to develop the
means to keep them up-to-date and in good working order should times get
rough, bad decisions are made, or if you wish to switch between screen
readers to determine which one works best in a given situation.
