[Trainer-Talk] New YouTube Asynchronous Content Available - NVDA for the Novice

[commanderlumpy at xmission.com]

Thankyou very much. I could use this. I know very little about NVDA.
However, I find that NVDA works better on some websites then Jaws.


"Rikki, don't lose that number
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki, don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home" (Steely Dan)
