No. They seem pretty arrogant as a company. But, really, no more arrogant
that a lot of software vendors that have a mini-monopoly. They're ripe for a
competitor to come in and undercut their pricing completely. Where are
things at in the Screen Reader market? Is IBM's product much of a
competitor?
