[gui-talk] [EXTERNAL] Re: NV Access Announces Release of NVDA2014.1

[Gerald Levy]

I don't think FS will simply go belly up, but they might be forced to merge 
with another purveyor of software for blind computer users to remain viable. 
Their current CEO, John Blake is a cast-off from Kodak, a company that has 
been steadily declining for years, and it remains to be seen whether he can 
bring a fresh business approach to a company that has had a reputation for 
not being especially customer friendly.
