I am still hoping a DMR-capable radio comes out with
programming software that works under Linux or Mac.

	Even if it is free under Windows, Windows isn't free. At
least NVBA is gradually becoming an alternative Windows screen
reader but if you want best results, get out the money shovel and
hope your end result was worth the expense when you finally start
trying to use it.

	In all fairness, MACOSX is not free either, but the
screen reader is part of the OS and is upgraded along with it so
you don't spend any more than a sighted Mac user doing the same
things.
