[il-talk] Huge News from the world of Adaptive Technology

[Bill Reif]

VFO is a company that owns Freedom Scientific, the maker of JAWS, 
Optelec, and several other companies. AI Squared recently acquired GW 
Micro, maker of Window-eyes, and also owns Zoomtext. VFO now has 
acquired AI Squared. The wayw things are going, there may soon be one 
company that provides all access technology for the blind. I wonder 
whether this was a friendly aquisition, and whether Window-eyes 
development will continue.

Cordially,
Bull
