Late October is what I heard a few days ago. Some where I read that
there will be the ability to jump to headings, get a list of heading,
etc the way JAWS does it now. My biggest peeve is in Safari I can get
stuck in a loop on one paragraph, and can't get past it to another
place in the document. I think it may be worse when I "group items in
a web page". I have a machine that I bring home from work each day,
but when I am home I always use my Mac.
