Comment on More Freedom Scientific Quality Customer Service - NOT!!! by Monty Icenogle

You don’t know how good it feels for me to read this entry. I’m glad that folks are finally able to read about the insane tactics that Freedom Scientific is using on users of their screen reading products. As one can tell by my JAWS serial number of 59243, I’ve been a JAWS user continuously since JFW 4.0, and it baffles my mind as to why Freedom Scientific treats their customers in this manner! Back around the time that JFW 6.0 was released, I’d pieced together a new computer for myself, and had loaded the operating system and associated programs, including JAWS, on to it. A few days later, my Sony DVD burner decided to no longer read DVD media, requiring me to replace the DVD burner. this issue was not a planned hardware replacement. After the replacement DVD burner was in place, of course I needed to re-activate my JAWS license. The activation went OK, but it used the last of my activations at the time. After getting my count reset back to 3 that time, I contacted Freedom Scientific to find out what I could do to reduce the amount of times I needed to activate my product when doing computer upgrades. The response I got, was to use JAWS in 40 minute demo mode until I knew everything was working, and then activate the product!
Well how exactly will that reduce the number of times I need to activate, in the event of hardware failure, such as what happened with my DVD burner?
I mean when I initially installed the computer, the DVD burner was working fine, so was I suppose to just magically know that my burner was going to fail, and refrain from activating JAWS until I had my new burner installed?
Also, what exactly is the point of the “Remove Activation” option in the JAWS 10.0, tools, submenu? If that option removed the activation, but then also put it back on the ILM server, then it’d be useful for doing planned computer upgrades or hardware maintenance. However, that option only removes the authorization from your computer, nothing more, so exactly what’s the point of that?
Finally, does anyone remember the brief JAWS 5.10 beta I think it was, that was going to be the beginning of a truly useful demo version of JAWS, since instead of 40 minutes of demo, you’d have a fully functional 30 day version of the product, the way most demos of software work? Why was the 30 day demo quickly taken away, never to be heard from again?
I’m disgusted that Freedom Scientific treats their former employees so poorly, deliberately reducing the number of allowed activations, and even the version that Wil was Entitled to upgrade to! What exactly was their reasoning for this I wonder? Is their whole goal to annoy everyone they deal with? Anyway, I’d welcome comments from anyone about this, good or bad. Feel free to follow me on twitter at http://twitter.com/kd6cae
You can skype me at kd6cae, and emails are also welcome at monty@kd6cae.net. I hope that somehow some way, we can get the message across to Freedom Scientific, that we’re tired of being treated like slaves! Hell Microsoft even treats it’s customers with slightly more respect than Freedom seems to be doing!

So now the shark targets the customers. This is what I’m talking about, they don’t give a shit about their customers and this just proves it. Once again, sharky, stop threatening your customers with law suits. You’re just taking up the courts time and the tax payers time for paying for these trials because who do you think pays the judges? The tax payers pay them. Besides you guys will look stupid after the case is dismissed and you’re throne out on your asses. I’m also going to be starting up window eyes payments after the first and you guys will lose a consumer. I’ve been talking to the person who represents me and let’s just say I have a vote from a state organization. Sorry guys you lose.
