Janina and all, It's a mixed experience. In some ways, it reminds me of the days before windows when I enjoyed my shell account and in some ways, it is tough because I'm using the shell through windows which is not really as fun as direct. I also had a brief experience with speak up a number of years ago and in some ways, in spite of its primitiveness at that time, it was a more pleasant experience than using windows for the shell. Of course, I didn't have sites like Bank Of America (catering to the rodent users) to work with then so this sheds some new experiential light. I have ben aware of the issues though for quite some time and this is what has motivated me at last now that I have the means to do it again to probe them directly. Some of what is somewhat confusing is that the button for log in seems to have the same lable as the entry field so it is easy to hit the rong number and could be more clearly marked. Using jaws and ie, we are told what is a button and what is an edit field an it looks like the word button or edit for instance is part of the lable. I knew it was not but the real experience makes this more evident. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janina Sajka" <janina@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Friday, February 06, 2004 2:32 PM Subject: Re: the cat and the bank: So, David, do you find the cat broadening your view of things?
