FreeLists / ossrp-control / [ossrp-control] Unclear On Address; But, I Think It's Wonderful

[Tony Broome <tb777@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was unclear on which address to post messages to the forum ,but I 
guess I'll answer my own question if this thing goes through.

The fact that Microsoft is going to update xp to the point of including 
some of Long Horn's features is exciting.
In fact, any screen reader for any system is exciting to me.  I just 
love to see the access world become more accessible to those who were 
in the dark before.
It has been my honor to use and train others to use Jaws, and I have 
used other widely available screen readers as well.  All of these 
products do a good job in various ways, but cost is a prohibiting 
factor to a lot of people.
For the past year, I have almost exclusively used the FreedomBox.

This, in itself, is is a wonderful access solution which is not 
considered to be one of the big boy screen readers, but surely gets 
blind people online and, at a far less expensive price than the major 
line access technology products.
Whether I will buy Long Horn is an up in the air question.  but, the 
fact that an open source screen reader is even being considered kinda 
lights my fire.
Now, I'm not a programmer, just an ordained pastor and pc helper.  I 
know what I like and feel I can express what I feel are the needs of 
others in my experience in the accessibility world.  Yet, this should 
be done by keeping things as simple as possible, without compromising 
the goals set forth at hand.
Thanks, for letting me in,

Your friend,  Tony;
Henderson, NC
