Steve,
I take your point about the word "Accessible". Perhaps a term like
"Basic" would have been better. I don't think that there was any
intention of implying that other programs were not accessible,
particularly to people really familiar with their screen reader.
The browser "Webbie" from
the same "stable" is no substitute for Internet Explorer, but offers
beginners a chance to start to explore the web whilst learning the
screen reader key strokes etc. needed to work comfortably with Internet
Explorer.
