Yes, there's been some discussion of System Access on here before. I believe there area few very keen devotees. During the trial period, don't forget to try all the Freedombox Network goodies such as the audio-described movies.

Have any of you tried freedombox system acces? I have a demo of it on my computer, and when I had display driver problems recently, I was able to read my e-mails, surf the web and use skype successfully. I am veryimpressed with the way it works on skype.

Doris, Good question! I don't know for certain but I very much doubt that it would work on a system lacking Internet explorer. In the View menu there is an item "Show web page" activating which produces what appears to be a normal IE view. The item then changes to Hide Web page which switches back to the normal Webbie view.

As I may have said before, i think Webbie is essentially intended to
display what it can of web pages in a simplified form which can be
navigated by basic screen readers like Look Out and Thunder which
lack  the functionality present in the major screen readers.

Is WebIE really a full-fledged web browser such as IE or Firefox or
is it just a frontend to IE? I thought WebIE needed Internet Explorer
installed in order to work.

As I am trying to learn and make sense out of WebIE, I appreciate any
information I can get.


Cheers,

Doris
