[nfbcs] Phrasing Things RE: JAWS and Google Chrome Browser

[Larry Wayland]

Well, I imagine most people are like me and didn't know about the webinar
therefore didn't know about the tools Google offers.  I loos patients with
those people who assume everyone knows everything and then are rude to
listers who are just trying to find out information.

For a very long time I did not try anything with google chrome like the
pasielo group did.  I read what that group had published first.  When I
found out about the webinar google was putting on I spent a few hours on the
phone listening in.  Even after that I didn't necessarily believe what I had
heard especially since at that time nvda wasn't supported.  
Later I tried out the combination with chromevox first and had no such
problems as had been reported here.  I take it either some nvda support had
been added or none was needed.  There are blind people over on the nvda list
who insist on running google chrome without chromevox and they then complain
about all the problems they're having even after they know perfectly well
about chromevox and what chromevox is supposed to do.  I find those people
very strange and for some odd reason can't get my mind around their logic
processes.  So yes if I sound slightly frustrated with that kind of people
you're entirely correct and I have no apologies for any of that.
