[NFBCS] Important JAWS Tandem Information for JAWS 2022 Users

[Bryan Schulz]

Hi,

I was basically asking what's the big deal if you are the go to vendor, you
should be able to get the job done regardless of what the client has within
a few years.

I took this as less of a question and more of a jab.

I don't think anyone was claiming to be a rehab engineer (what is a rehab

Every job is different, everyone works differently. This is strictly a
heads-up, not a request for someone to pass judgement.
