Hi.

Actually, I need to stick up for System Access which is what the Freedom 
Box screen reader is called.  Although it hasn't got some of the bells and 
whistles for advanced features of Microsoft Office, you actually can do an 
awful lot with System Access.  The downside to it is what you see is what 
you get.  There isn't much configuring to it, but it's access to the 
Internet is quite good, and it's access to the Windows operating system is 
very good.  If you need something portable to move from machine to machine, 
it is awfully tough to beat, especially since you don't have to screw 
around with trying to hook video intercepts like you would with 
JAWS.  While that's not a huge deal, the fact remains that if I need to 
move to another machine, the less I have to do to get up and going, the better.
