You might find one for which there is no text alternative, but I cannot think of one now. However, Orca is testable and the Authors need us to try applications and report problems. I have tested the planner application and reported a problem or two. That resulted in a more accessible planner application in less than a week. You might want to wait a while if you are not ready for testing and finding problems. Regards, Willem On Wed, 12 Jul 2006, Michael Whapples wrote: > Is orca useful?
