Jared:

I probably wasn't clear enough in a couple of my statements -- sorry.

I should have said something like "While the screen reader-like capabilities of Zoomtext and Magic have certainly increased, in my opinion they are not at the point where a totally blind person could use them as a screen reader. While somebody may be doing so, I am not aware of anyone."

Certainly I don't know all blind or visually impaired person, but I do have contact with a wider variety than most.

When I said you shouldn't take the numbers literally, I did mean in terms of generalizing them to the entire population. The numbers themselves are valid, and I know you do everything you can to make them as accurate as you can.

Thanks!

Dave
