well i have had their freedombox program and yes, it looks to me(note i have 
some programming knowledge if its very little) anyway, you download the 
software, and you can optionally go to what for all purposes, is their giant 
webpage with all kinds of things on it like, weather for a certain zipcode 
or location, newspapers which personally i wouldnt bother with, and too, 
there is where you can just stay on your own computer but it gives you a 
bunch of folders under the my documents folder, its like $9 a month unless 
they changed that, so in short, to have a $9.99 screen reader a month is 
nice but as i found out, you can only have one account per user and or 
computer, they don't delete your email address when you cancel the service, 
and there system is a bit odd to get used to, e.g, some might argue this 
point, however i find the keypad or arrows when in a text field like email 
or such, will make it look very messy, e.g you shouldnt count on using the 
keypad for anything that you can in windoweyes or jfw
thats my thoughts anyway
