Does anyone know what happened to the review of gnome on mainmenu? I
thought there was at least one segment left but it never seemed to be
aired.

He did it on this week's show.  It should be in the archives by now.

It's there now.  I must say that of all the segments, this was the most
disappointing, but I appreciate the honesty of it.  The truth is evident
from the segment.  Mozilla is far from ready for serious use.  The Balsa
email client looked almost there, but I have never before heard of it.
Anybody else know about it?  Is it part of Gnome?  For now, I'm sticking
with Lynx and Pine.  I've been using those programs since 1995 in the
command-line environment, and it's kind of hard to change.

Re: mainmenu

In my opinion this gnome review could've waited another 6 monts at least.
until gnopernicus is a little farther along in development and a viable
alternative to winblows.

Hi
Balsa is an email client for gnome. It used to be part of gnome 1.4. It's
not a default part of gnome 2, but it uses the gnome 2 libraries which is
what makes it work reasonably well with gnopernicus.

http://balsa.gnome.org
is the site where you can get it.

Actually, I disagree with you here.  If it had been much longer, I would
have been convinced that Gnopernicus is yet more vaporware.  It's still
far from done, but I'd say it has gotten further than any of the other
aborted X screen readers.  Anybody remember UltraSonix?  How about Beam
XVI?  There web page hasn't changed in several years.  This review was
enough to convince me that at least Gnopernicus still has a chance of
actually being completed.

Hi, balsa comes with quite a few distros. It is a vary nice email client.
However, to get the full accessibility I suggest grabbing version 2.0.11
from:
balsa.gnome.org

Hi.  I think the shows on gnopernicus could be the best thing to make it
usable sooner.  When the shows started, few people had it working.  Now,
more people have at least got it talking as well as the demos on the
Main Menu show.  True, it doesn't give the access of a current Windows
screen reader, but it gives enough for people used to testing and fixing
to get started.
