Greetings. I'm currently working for the Kansas State School for the Blind, and one of my duties while I'm here is to evaluate the accessibility of the
clients mentioned above. While I will be doing my own investigation of course, I'd also like to hear what others have to say on them. So if you've triedany
of these (the newest versions please) I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. I'll also add that I am working with jaws 7.1 here on my computer, and the
school here is eligible for jaws7.1 though it hasn't been updated on all of the computers yet. (another one of my jobs while I'm here. :) )
Peace,
Nehemiah

Firefox is good. I've heard thunderbird is good although have not used it. Open office sucks, you can kind of muddle your way around in the word processor or database program, forget the spread sheet. You have to be good with jaws to get any usibility out of open office.
