Hi guys:
I still don't have a Mac, mostly because I can't afford it, but mainly
because there still seems to be problems. Because I need Quicktime to hear
some things on the internet, I've been allowing Apple to download stuff onto
my Windows XP Pc. Of course I can't use Quicktime, but if something needs
it, it's there. Just a while ago, it downloaded Safari. Out of curiosity,
I wondered if any of it was accessible to any of the screenreaders I have to
hand-Window-eyes, NVDA, or System Access to go. Interestingly enough, I can
read the menus and even go to a web page, but it won't read the page. I'm
assuming that sighted ones can use Safari on a Windows PC? Humm, I wish I
could get Apple to donate some Mac Minis with Leopard to po' folks like me!
(smile) My version of Window-eyes is 4.5 which shows you how far behind I
am. Thank goodness for the free ones that are up-to-date. I've got to
hunt down the "dualing" screenreaders.

P.s. For those of you that like to do these things, there's an
alternative for Microsoft Word called Atlantis Nova. It's the first word
processor I've ever downloaded that makes noise! They are kind of cute,
but you'd probably want to turn them off after a while.
