On Peter's "only IE6" comment, it could be that Dolphin are aware of
all the problem HAL/Supernova users have had with IE7. I suppose the
more IT savvy might upgrade to IE7 if they can hack the problems with
it. That, however, would go against what seems to be the rationale
for this RNIB Home Access PC: Accessible computers for the Vi masses.
(By the way, Dolphin users, don't get taking that comment personally!
I know from eves dropping on the Dolphin list there's a strong "MY
screen reader right or wrong" sentiment there.)
AS for Vista, who would go for that just now?
Anyway, interesting we've another player in this field, along with
System Access, Guide, and the rest. I'll be watching as to how things
shape up in this more cost-effective sector of the market.
