[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

When I was teaching one of my students Vert Plus for the Texas
Comision, the people at the Career Development Unit, the people
responsible for deciding what equipment clients will get,
informed me when I recommended Jaws or Vocal-Eyes instead of
Vert that Jaws especially was way above the needs of a client
who was just working on Word Perfect.  I couldn't believe it. 
here programs come along that make Word Perfect the easiest I've
ever seen to use and the Comision says the program is to much
for the client's needs.  Someone in this echo made a comment
about Vert Plus as the program written the way screenreaders
were written several years ago and boy is that ture.  I never
really got it working with WP as well as Jaws or Vocal-Eyes.  It
would never automatically speek the status line even.  However I
have gotten the word that the Comision is still going to buy
that for their clients.  Oh boy!
