Hey everybody!

Remember how, last year, a bunch of us got free iBill money readers at national convention before the rest of the world did? Well, we've got something even better this year! Now, we all know that the best parts of being a Federationist cannot be bought, but the technology goodies are awesome, too.

At this year's convention of the National Federation of the Blind, Freedom Scientific, maker of the well-known JAWS, MAGic, and OpenBook programs, is wishing the National Federation of the Blind a happy 75th birthday by offering these programs at a tremendous discount. These discounts are available only to registered attendees of the convention and only if they visit the Freedom Scientific booth in the convention exhibit hall. You can hear about this on FS Cast #108, available for download at 
http://podcast.freedomscientific.com/FSCast/episodes/FSCast108-Mark_Riccobono,Robin_Drodge.mp3.

Here are the details:
 
1.         A brand new copy of JAWS 16 home user edition will be available for $75. 
A service maintenance agreement will cost only $100; this will entitle you to the next two versions of JAWS: versions 17 and 18 when they come out. 
Normally, the home edition of JAWS sells for $895.

2.         If you own an older copy of JAWS, regardless of its age, you will be able to upgrade to the home edition of JAWS 16 for $50. 
As with the brand new copy, a service maintenance agreement is available for $100. 

Anyone who has ever had to pay for an upgrade to his/her JAWS license knows that an upgrade can cost several hundred dollars, depending on how many versions behind you are.

3.         If you are interested in a screen enlargement program with speech:
MAGic version 13 will be sold for $50, and a service maintenance agreement for this software is available for $75. 
MAGic with speech normally sells for $595.
 
4.         Finally, If you are interested in a print-reading program:
Freedom Scientific's OpenBook OCR software is available for $75. 
OpenBook normally sells for $995.

Again, this offer is available only to registered attendees of the 2015 National Federation of the Blind convention, and attendees must visit the Freedom Scientific booth in the convention exhibit hall.

As Curtis Chong says, "This is one good example of a significant benefit that is only available  to people attending conventions of the National Federation of the Blind."

So, if you need new software, you'll basically get a free convention trip out of this deal! Is that cool or what?

See you in Orlando!

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-
Because I was not a Socialist. 

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out- 
Because I was not a Trade Unionist. 

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out- 
Because I was not a Jew. 

Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me.
