Colin,

I had trouble with live mail and my screen reading software when it first 
came out and I got frustrated with it.  Possibly with more time I would have 
got used to it, however, I wasn't in the mood at the time.

I am not an Apple user so I can't speak with any first hand knowledge about 
their accessibility with any specific app, however it is nice that they 
built into the OS a fairly decent screen reader thus, folks don't have to 
spend $900 to get their computer to talk to them.

Of course, today we have NVDA which is very powerful for free.  Any of us 
who use NVDA should contribute something no matter how small to the further 
and continued development.

I'm off my soapbox now.

Howard #3
