I heard a demo of NVDA. It seems OK for the price, being a work in progress
to fix what bugs may be in it and to get new features in. The guy who did
this demo said that loading sites with lots of links can take a real long
time even on a 3 gig machine. I think their page rendering to the virtual
buffer is what is slow.

Yes, but doess fb work in parallels? As far as nvda is cconcerned, if it
is a bad screen reader free or not, it's a bad screen reader. I have
recently heard a demo of the new version and it sounds promising, but
folk, VoiceOver is free in a manner of speaking and at least 3rd party
developers have something to play off of. If they try to play off of a
free screen reader for windows or any other os which is bad it won't help
us a bit. I sincerely hope that nvvda or another free screen reader can
be good enough to test with.

Freedombox System Access uses no video display chaining, and when you
upgrade to Windows Vista, it will help install the upgrade, but if you
were to do a "clean" install, you'd still have to have sighted
assistance, from what I understand. And speaking of NVD, I tried it on a
friend's machine, and it's not a bad screenreader, considering it's free.

Hi David. Are you sure this is still the case? There was a big noise
about this in certain areas a few months ago.
