getting off my windows dependency

I have found that windows screen readers simply give you too much information
that you will never need, and their bad habbit of putting each column entry in a
table on it's own virtual line is just too weird for me.  And it doesn't stop
there, either.  When copying and pasting a web page using Jaws, (I can't ssay
that this is true of Window Eyes, as I haven't had all that much experience with
it), things like "nested table with 6 columns and 27 rows nesting level 2" get
into the pasted text, and all links and table column entries are on their own
lines in the pasted text so that the entire look of the web page is lost.  This
may be perfectly OK if you are only sharing the pasted portion of a page with
blind users, but it confuses the heck out of any sited people who see it, so
don't try to copy a really funny or informative section of a web page and paste
it into an email to all your sited friends if you are using Jaws without doing
some very serious editing which requires more knowledge of the layout of the
original page than even Jaws will give you.

Just my $0.02
