[Central-MD-Chapter] A Great Opportunity

[jandes]

Sharon,

 

As you know I think, I am in the market for a new version of JAWS.  I
haven't pulled the trigger yet so I was interested in this offer.  I called
Freedom Scientific and the offer is not as good as I thought.  It is aimed
at folks who have to work from home until cofid 19 is over.  The free
version will work until June 30 and then it won't.  (Although I expect it
may be extended if cofid 19 is still an issue.)  So the offer will not help
me.  I assume there may be some who can take advantage of it.  

 

BTW and FYI,  I called Keith Austin twice and he hasn't returned my calls.
Given the present situation, I am not looking for his help; I will try to go
it alone.  Should be interesting.

 

Thanks.

Joe

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not
the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
