Hi Chris,

If you've used the *lovely* native FB IOS App, you'll be familiar with some of 
the shortcomings of the mobile site when accessed thru Safari on the Mac. 
sometimes you can "like" a post, sometimes not. Sometimes you can comment, 
sometimes not. Sometimes notifications show up, sometimes not. Sometimes the 
screen refreshes properly, sometimes not. Sometimes the cursor maintains focus 
in a text entry field, sometimes not. If I were an FB addict, I'd probably have 
jumped out a window by now. <growl>.  I've never tried FB on Windows, with or 
without a screen reader, so I can't personally compare the experience there.

Cheers,
Bryan
