Hi Frank

My two cents: it's not a Freedom Scientific problem, it's a Google 
problem. I really like GMAIL, but other things make me want to tear my 
hair out.

I do projects at a community technology center where a lot of our 
customers are people with disabilities. We do not have a giant budget 
for accessibility testing. If our most screen reader dependent user 
cannot use something, we do not adopt it. I see from the footer info 
that you work for some kind of similarly gifted organization. I blogged 
all over the place about it. I did not take time to talk to Google but 
I will certainly TRY at some point to tell tehm if they really want to 
be a serviceable mass market product they need to incoorporate 
accessibility through and not have it come and go on who knows whose 
whim.

There. End of tirade. Probably I should go eat lunch and think about 
rephrasing but I am clicking send first!

Best
