Hi Chris.
I am generally a JAWS user but thought I'd give thunder a look. My initial
thoughts ar that it seems a little unstable but I am prepared to give it
more of a go.
As far as Webbie is concerned, it looks functional on a basic level.
Overall, I am most impressed by the open source Non Visual Desktop program
which, while in early stages of development, seems well featured and easy to
use. It works with internet explorer and is also said to wwork particularly
well with firefox.
regards
graham

Graham, in my view, both Thunder and related programmes are crap (sorry
for the language), as you can't do much with either programmes, unlike,
say, JAWS and Mozilla Firefox. Just my thoughts, hope you enjoy both
Thunder and Webbie.
