I'm not, basically. My bank wouldn't allow a non-commercial web browser to access the accounts, so I use Firefox in Windows XP, with the NVDA screen reader (http://www.nvda-project.org). I do pretty much all my web purchases from the Windows GUI. The rest I normally use edbrowse. Has a 2 to 4 hour learning curve to master, but once you start getting the hang of it and work extensively with the search function, once you're familiar with a particular web page layout, you can navigate almost as fast as if you were sighted. Wish his Jupiter screen reader was a Debian package. Karl Dahlk is pretty familiar with how the blind work best and fastest. Michael
