[nfbcs] NVDA

[John G. Heim]

Yeah, I am considering switching to linux for everything except email and 
just running Windows and nvda in a virtual machine. The one thing that is 
really inefficient  in linux with the orca screen reader is email. It could 
be that I'm just not familiar enough with evolution to use it efficiently 
with orca.  But I asked about it on the orca list and the responses weren't 
very encouraging. It seems to me that people are living with some pretty 
tough navigational requirements in evolution.
