Hi Darrell.
Have you actually gotten better results with the Trusted Assistive
Technology? I haven't had real good luck with Adobe 6.0, and ended up
dropping back to Adobe 5.1 after experiencing very slow loads with JFW 5.0,
and in some cases not very much talking. It was especially a problem on my
machine at work, which unfortunately, is only a Pentium II. Anyhow, I
kind of had the feeling that at least on the JFW side of things that the
screen reader hasn't taken full advantage of this technology. Are other
folks having good luck with Adobe 6? Is this something I should go back
and revisit?
