You're right Jim.  JFW, Wineyes, and WindowBridge cost a lot more than
Home Page REader.  However, they do a lot more than it as well.  And that
is worth some money.  I'd rather have one screen reading package that did
everything reasonably well than One package that only does one thing well.

Not to mention the fact that IBM can sell Home Page reader at a loss and
shrug it off.  Hell, we are planning on cracking 80 billion in revenue
this year just in the e-commerse devision.  Guys like GW Micro,
HenterJoyce, and Slimware have to survive on their sales.  IBM could give
away their little toy and it wouldn't even begin to affect their bottom
line.
