Re: Window eyes verses JAWS

Hi to all.

After the implosion of Windowbridge in 2001 (after its author's passing), I 
played with both JFW 4.5 and the version of Window-Eyes out at the time.  I 
found that Window-Eyes was better at handling internal computer chores 
(System Restore, etc.) than JAWS was, but not by much.  On the other hand, 
JFW's IE5 Internet accessibility was better than Window-Eyes' by a mile--JFW 
was much closer to Windowbridge, whereas I could never get Window-Eyes to 
readthe information that wasn't a link.  I presume (I certainly know for 
JFW) that both systems are much better now.

To all, take care.
