Greetings!

        My name is Terry Martin and I am the National Sales Manager for
Henter-Joyce, producers of JAWS (Job Access With Speech).  I started
with Henter-Joyce in January of this year.  My wife and 10 month old
daughter are former residents of New York State.  Henter-Joyce is
located in Florida.

        I have used adaptive equipment for many years.  My first piece
of high tech equipment was a portable V-Tek.  WOW!  Well, it was high
tech when it was introduced.  The Vtek is 10 years old now and it is
still working.  Now that I am into speach, I don't use that much
anymore.  I have been using JAWS for almost two years.  I am also using
the Arkenstone Reader and low-vision aids.  I have been legally blind
since birth.

        I was maintreamed in the public school system before the word
became popular.  Mom wanted to send me to a state school for the blind
but, I told her that I would miss my friends.  The fight began.  Some of
my past awards and achievements include; one of the youngest Eagle
Scouts in th e United States, I was a champion wrestler, I was on the
Dean's List in college, and employee of the month.  That is enough of
that stuff.  Now you know a little bit about me.

        I am participating in this echo to talk to all of you about JAWS
and Henter-Joyce.  I want to hear your coments and suggestions.  I have
been reading messages for the past few days.  This may sound different
but, I really mean this, "I am hear to learn."  Everyone of you on this
echo have a great deal to offer.  I am looking forward to sharing
information.  Your input is very important to us.  I also want to have
fun.  UPS!  I am getting my two minute warning.  I am going to have to
say so long.  I am looking forward to talking with you.
