[nfbcs] jaws so sensitive is BS!

[John Heim]

Yeah, my solution was to switch to linux and orca.

I am really surprised they are still doing this. I went around and 
around with them about it back when I was doing desktop support. I was 
trying new hardware all the time. I told them that policy was driving me 
away. But I can see how this makes sense from a marketting  and/or 
business stand point.  They realize that people have alternatives these 
days but as long as governments and many businesses are willing to pay, 
they are going to get every cent they can from jaws. They are more 
worried about getting every dollar they can out of their existing 
customers than they are about losing customers.

I know this is not a practical solution for most people but I switched 
to linux and orca years ago. It turned out being a good career move too. 
I live in a university town and there are always lots and lots of linux 
jobs. Something to consider anyway.

I pay every so often for my Jaws upgrade, just as most of you do, but it kills me a bit each time, realizing that as much as I respect and appreciate, and admire what the amazing folks at NVAccess have done, and continue to do, I only give them a fraction of the money I give to VFO.
