Hi, Melissa:

Here are the system specs and the download link for the Amaze plugin.

To run Amaze, you will need:

Operating Systems: Windows XP and Windows 7
Browsers: Firefox 3.6 and up
Assistive technology: requires WAI-ARIA compliant assistive technology.

We have set up special groups on Facebook and Twitter where you may post
feedback or ask questions.

Once you have installed Amaze, please point your browser to the following
URL's:

http://www.facebook.com/AmazeByDeque

http://www.twitter.com/AmazeByDeque

Within a couple of weeks, we will be releasing free training materials for
Facebook in the event the features of Facebook are new to you.

There is one key known issue with the Amaze plug in that I want to make sure
to mention. Facebook has a real-time chat feature. In our testing, the NVDA
screen reader performs without issue. The current and beta versions of JAWS,
however, do not perform reliably. We believe this is a result of a technical
issue with JAWS, and we are working directly with the makers of JAWS to
address the problem. We will report any progress we make with them, but,
until that point, we recommend that if chat within Facebook is important to
you, you use NVDA.

We greatly look forward to your feedback. Please contact us via the Twitter
and Facebook groups with your feedback and comments.

To download the Amaze Plugin please surf to http://www.deque.com/hdwnload

Thanks very much for your participation in the beta!

     I remember hearing about this at the NFB convention, but had not
     heard anymore until now. Where can I download this plugin and can I
     use it with Firefox and my current screenreader Window-Eyes?
     Thanks,
