> People who attend conventions of the National Federation of the Blind often
> receive benefits that are not available anywhere else. For example, last
> year, at our 2014 national convention, Federationists were able to obtain a
> free iBill currency reader long before anyone else in the country.
> 
> 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_Riccobon

> 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
> ensure that you are able to obtain the next two versions of JAWS: versions
> 17 and 18. 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 one
> has to traverse.

> 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
