[JAWSLite] Re: NY Times and jaws 10

Have you tried accessing this web site with JAWS 9?  I just did, and had no 
problem activating links or loading pages.  If pressing Enter fails to 
activate a link, try pressing Shift-Enter.  I find this web site a real pain 
to navigate anyway, so I prefer to read the NY Times via phone using NFB 
Newsline.
