It implies that like IE, Opera, Netscape, Mozilla, and others the AT is free. Why should we put financial burdens on those that may not have the financial capabilities to acquire software that costs over $2,000 USD? Even in the USA, not all State governments can afford to keep up with the software purchasing requirements for the disabled population. Eventually, governments are going to either stop purchasing the expensive software or change to a less expensive option. Lee Roberts http://www.roserockdesign.com http://www.applepiecart.com
