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.
