Hi Don,
Maybe you can tell me the solution to these two issues.
First, when I have Vinux running, as in I am trying to use it, my right Alt key
does not fire. Second. Does Orca allow you to use two Orca keys? It seems that
when you are in the Desktop keyboard layout, it lets you use the Insert key,
and when you are in the Laptop keyboard layout, it lets you use the Caps Lock
key, but sometimes, you can get into some finger gymnastics with either setup.
If you can make it use both the Insert key and the Caps Lock key, that would be
good. But I'll be reading more about how to use the system tonight.
Thanks.
Jim

Virtual Experiences
The small issue you had installing VMware was something VMware introduced to
the installer in Player 3.1 as I remember. The Product Manager claimed he
would restore it to it's previous full accessibility. Still waiting.
To get around this if using JAWS, just press JAWSKey + z, and you should be
able to Tab and have the buttons announced.
If the Alt keys were being announced as left alt or right alt, it sounds like
you have the UK Keyboard selected.
Perhaps we will make sure these things are mentioned in the quick start guide.
Glad you had a good experience!
