[Lee]:
That's scary, especially since they talk about how they're trying to ensure
all their stuff is accessible to the blind and yet there is so much that
isn't and no one seems to care.  Microsoft Narrator in Vista has been touted
for its accessibility and that its a good screen-reader; yeah--right--only
as far as getting around the computer and setting it up.  Don't try to read
a document or web page with it, or edit with it.  The results are *NOT*!

Windows Defender, approved by Microsoft, is totally unreadable with _Any_
screen-reader.

Ah--this is a bad topic...don't get me started!

I'm going back to bed where it's safe and listening to Stephen Fry and DH.

Bye-bye,

Lee :-)
