Will - Which screen reader are you using in Windows?  I just tested
the last few versions of the utility with Window-eyes and had
absolutely no joy, but Jaws seems way happier with this one out of the
box.  Unusual, but there it is.  If you've got jfw at your disposal,
break it out and have a tinker, the newest version of the utility is
slightly more accessible than the last.

But to bring this back on topic, it sucks that it's not accessible on
mac.  Anyone know whether it's usable on any other OS's?  I'm thinking
of dropping the developers a note or perhaps chatting to them about it
on irc.
