[Bulk] jaws update:

Adrian,
You wrote: "As for sports scores, is anyone really willing to say they're spending all the money they pay for JAWS in order to find out what happened in baseball the day before?" Very good point. I doubt that anyone will honestly say "yes" to that question, unless it's not their money being spent. An expression in the English-speaking language says it best: "Put your money where your mouth is."

But I'll try to remedy that situation. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adrian Spratt" <Adrian@...> To: "'The Jaws for Windows support list.'" <jfw@...> Sent: Tuesday, July 26, 2011 4:27 Subject: [Bulk] RE: jaws update: Dave, I was curious why you invoked EdSharp, an application I've read about but never used. For anyone interested, EdSharp's equivalent to JAWS's Research It is described in detail at http://empowermentzone.com/EdSharp.htm#A13 Look for the Web Client Utilities link. I'm guessing that Freedom Scientific views Research It as a selling point, just as iPhone apps are a selling point for what would otherwise be just a phone. It might pull in new customers, good for business but more positively, also a way of encouraging increasing numbers of visually impaired people to take this step toward independence. I'd like to say that I wish we didn't see Research It and upgrade of job application compatibility as an either/or proposition, but FS tech support people often say that fixing this or that problem is a question of priorities. Resources are limited. I almost never use Research It. For definitions, I prefer my installed Random House Webster's. for Wiki-type research, I prefer to combine Wiki information with other options available through google. Stock information is superior at other websites. As for sports scores, is anyone really willing to say they're spending all the money they pay for JAWS in order to find out what happened in baseball the day before? -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounces@...

Subject: Re: jaws update: Especially as there are better third-party programs available which do a much better job than Freedom Scientifics' attempt called ResearchIt., EdSharp, being one of them. Freedom Scientific, should stop adding useless humps to a camel that is already overloaded and which is groaning more and more under the weight. Soon, the beast will not be able to stand up and carry the weight. If they had the guts to do so, they would not release another version of JAWS containing useless and irrelevant functions and utilities, but, instead, concentrate on fixing many of the major bugs and problems that we have all been complaining about for the last few versions. But, of course, because they lack the political will to take such a brave decision, they lack the moral fiber and guts to put such a decision into effect. So, do not hold your breath. Oh! As for them not counting Version 12 as an upgrade, they will behave in the same way as Microsoft did over Vista, that is, they will act as if there was nothing wrong with Version12, except to say, we will hope to do better with the next version release. Yes! And the rest! hahahahahaha! Just like we should believe that pigs and elephants can fly and there is a month of Sundays! ----- Original Message ----- From: "sooner" <soner.boun@...> To: "The Jaws for Windows support list." <jfw@...> Sent: Tuesday, July 26, 2011 2:23 AM Subject: Re: jaws update: the effort and time wasted on a feature which is particular just to _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list Jfw@... http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list Jfw@... http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com |
