[gui-talk] NV Access Announces Release of NVDA 2014.1

[Rick Alfaro]

I've heard that saying for sure but in this case it couldn't be further 
from the truth. I'm not a full time NVDA user but am familiar enough 
with it to see how good it is and how much work these folks have put 
into the product. You get what you pay for just doesn't apply in any way 
shape or form when it comes to NVDA. JMO.


Best Regards,

Rick alfaro
