*grin* and not without cause. <g>
Just thought that pointing out your personal interst and involvement
makes things a little more objective. <g>
and Mr. Tekkie Dave is the tech captain on the good ship
vippconduit and has a good and capable hand at the helm - just as
the tekkies on the other sites do on theirs, i am sure. <g>
Any of these chat sites for the blind are great places to make
friends, find support and also learn a lot about technology and
other things. the vip as well as the other chat sites offer tech
related events and classes on different subjects.
and while we are talking about tech events and classes on the
different chat sites, while not primarily a chat site, Accessible World at
http://www.accessibleworld.org/
hosts regular tech and other events. It also uses the tc5 chat client.
Keep on chatting, enjoying and helping each other!

And if I may be so bold, both you and miss pauline may have a
personal bias in favor of the vipconduit chat site as both of you are
on staff there. <g>
all of the chat sites listed in my afore-mentioned post are
accessible and can be used with jaws (yeah! this may even keep this
on topic just a bit! <g>) and on each of these sites, people are
helpful and will help newcomers with setting up and configuring the
chat client that is used on their site.
I personally hang out on the vip the most, too, but i do not think
that this is the time and place to promote one chat site over another.
jaws versions from 11 up (actualy from a later build of jaws 10 up)
include scripts for the tc5 chat client as the tc5 software is used
by FS themselves for their online training. For earlier versions of
jaws, the scripts can be donwoaded from fs's website from
http://www.freedomscientific.com/training/WebConferenceScripts.zip
Additionally, the tc5 client is self-voicing and, if set up to do so,
will read text chat mesages, entries and exits, etc. with sapi speech.
Likewise, the vipcommunicator client used on vipconduit and tafn also
uses sapi speech. the interface is accessible out of the box to
screenraders but the client installer includes an
additional cofniguration file for jaws users.
the chatterbox client used by "for the people" is not self-voicing
but jaws scritps for the client are available free of chaarge from
the for-the-people website.
