[stylist] Does anyone use MAGIC or have experience with it?

[Brenda]

Hi Eve
I am sorry I used a word you didn't like when saying Magic is a 
waterdown version of Jaws.  I was told this by someone who sold the 
product and I believe words to that effect from someone at Freedom 
Scientific.  I was told the screen readers in Magic and Zoomtext are not 
the full version of the screen readers.
