Just wanted to pass this on for anyone that uses the above products.

Starting on March 1st the pricing of home annual subscriptions will be as follows.

JAWS=$95

ZoomText=$85

Fusion=$170

Professional versions of the above products are higher in price.

If you need to renew, I suggest doing it before March to save a bit of money.

This can really add up if you pay for 3 or 5 years ahead for your access technology.

If you are using the older SMA authorization this pricing doesn’t apply.

In this case I recommend always renewing before the next major version is released. This usually happens in the October/November timeframe.

I'm very glad to see that JAWS' world HQ finally offers a realistically priced home license. Does that include updates?

...followed a Freedom Scientific link to CSUN. I shouldn't be surprised it costs $425, but wow that's a lot for disabled people. RDC attended the third Closing the Gap conference, which has always had more of a direct-to-consumer focus and costs $275.

What a weekend that was! We were in the Hotel Lemington in downtown Minneapolis; wallpaper was truly peeling in the hallways. I got to meet Ed Roberts! He really did have an "Ed Zone," which made everyone within listening distance a future friend and colleague.

CTG's current financing structure is quite sensible: $500/year gets your school district unlimited seats for their webinars in how to teach with AT. Plus lots of ads on their website.

Yes, the subscription price includes updates. But just think of all the thousands of new subscribers FS has gotten in the past year because they are no longer covered by their schools or employers networks, and multiply that by five. That is a hefty increase in FS's profit margin, and FS has never been shy about their profit margin.

I've rarely looked at those convention registration prices, because are usually so ludicrously sky-high that there is no way I could afford them. I love the Ed Roberts friending policy. If I had money, I would do that.
