  You know what really sucks is freedom scientific wont sell me a lisence
for winblows N T 4.0. they first want me to upgrade to jfw402 from 33135
befor they will sell me a liscense for windows NT OS.  according to there
tech support I don't need jfw higher than jfw 3.2 to use windows N T so how
can it be leagle for Freedom scientific to force me to buy  an upgrade I
don't need befor they will sell me the authorisation for windows N T for
JFW?  I to am ashaimed I didn't protest the JFW in place of another screen
reading product for win blows more than I did!!  OH, yah, by the way <BTW>
Freedom scientifuc wants $660 to make the wonderful world of jaws available
to me!  WoW!  I'am just soooo Happy I,----    can't F_______ stand it!  I
have a disk editing program. It can write more than 512 bit sectors on a
floppy track if you want it to.  So any ways Good luck to all!

was wondering if you were aware that the archive for this list is accessible
to anyone on the whole web? This means that all you are writing about is out
there for the picking unless Kirk decides to remove it from the archive
before google or any other search engine gets a cache of that archive.
