Hi Tony, I do agree, and see the potential usefulness of this sort of knowledge on occasions, such as the one JEff mentions. However, I must disagree with the overall impression that browsing with Safari is less productive than with JFW. It does take some getting used to, but in particular I consider group mode one of the best things that ever happened to accessible web browsing. I check the weather underground site mentioned every day, and find it no less useful with VO than under Jaws. Maybe it's all a matter of what you use the web for, I don't know, or a case of bad page design on some sites. Best, Zack. On May 13, 2011, at 2:14 PM, Tony Hernandez wrote:
