[Nfbc-info] facebook

[ckrugman at sbcglobal.net]

Actually, I now have found that with using the latest version 12 of JAWS 
that I am able to access most of Facebook. I have pleasantly surprised in 
the past month or so since I signed up. Prior to this I had written off 
Facebook as a waste of time. Although my preference is LinkedIn I can see 
where Facebook can be fun and addictive.
