Hear, hear, John! I certainly agree. Speakup is still my screen reader of choice. I tend to have 23 Speakup consoles open, and 1 graphical Desktop console with Orca. I still use vim, mutt, and even lynx a lot--even though I now also use Orca a lot. If I'm having trouble with one of my machines, I always solve it using Speakup. I never solve it using Orca. Heavens, it mostly wouldn't even be possible to solve it with Orca! Janina John G. Heim writes: > I think it's not said often enough. Speakup is really, really nice.
