[blindLaw] Does anyone have NVDA and JAWS on their computer

[Shannon Dillon]

Thank you both for responding. And thanks for offering to check out a
documents for me, too. I may take you up on that if I can find one
that is not confidential. It is an enforcement issues so you know how
that goes with investigations.

I have a follow-up question. Do you have problems with having both on
your computer and do you just avoid telling Freedom Scientific you
have both on your computer? In the past they have asked me
specifically if I have NVDA on my computer when I call for technical
assistance.

Thanks again.

Shannon
