<p class="MsoNormal">I understand you wanting to switch from TextHelp R&W to Natural Reader but I don’t agree with your approach. Companies must survive and that means sometimes they have to charge for their products and cannot always give them out for free,
especially if they are trying to improve their product. In a capitalistic society like ours we shouldn’t be offended if a company changes their pricing. You have every right to switch products, of course, but to be so offended that everyone in the post-secondary
field needs to pull their support, I don’t agree with. <o:p></o:p></p>
