It takes some adjusting to but I managed to get used to it pretty quickly, especially if you read the relevant sections of the documentation. I don't use it to anything like it's full capabilities though. I agree that something needs to be done to get more textbased browsers to handle javascript. A lotof the sites I use have a high content of javascript, and so for the moment I do most of my internet browsing in windows. as I'm trying to get more over to linux, I will have to experiment with Orca using firefox, but I'm told it's not particularly good yet. hth, Robin Williams New website under construction: www.robin-williams.co.uk Mobile: 07883017949 Personal email: robin@robin-williams.co.uk University business email: rmw205@ex.ac.uk MSN: robster3@hotmail.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hart Larry" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."
