..... and another great thing about firefox if you can still see a bit is the 
Zoom facility. I.E. has a zoom function, but Microsoft forgot to give us access 
to it - you can use Easy Read to add a zoom toolbar (or is that Easy Reader?) 

But also Firefox is less vulnerable to security threats such as spyware and 
other hacks.

  Hi.

  If you have a recent version of JAWS or Window-Eyes, Version 7 of JAWS, or 
Version 5.5 of Window-Eyes, the best RSS reader, unless you want Outlook 
integration, in my view, is Firefox.  Try Firefox as a browser too, it is 
faster than IE, and the tabbed pages are a breeze.

  All the best

  I'm currently using newsgator www.newsgator.com and finding it really 
userfriendly. at present I only use the free web interface but there are pay 
for add-ons such as read your feeds in Outlook. they've recently made a few 
changes to the structure of the service making it even more accessible - I 
particularly like being able to gather feeds in to folders and sub folders and 
then quickly wisk through all stories in a given category without evening 
having to be aware of which source they came from. you can also archive stories 
of interest in your clippings area.

  previously I used accessible rss reader but found it very unstable once you 
subscribe to more than 15 or 20 feeds.
