Re: Progress of Gnopernicus

["Tom Masterson" <kd7cyu yahoo com>]

I use bugzilla all the time with both lynx and Internet Explorer.  I don't
know how it works with speech but I find it very accessible and fairly easy
to use with braille.

have no idea what causes it since I can't debug it since I can't access a
text console when it does this. The other thing I notice is that I get
almost nothing out of it with mozilla, meaning that  about the only thing I
can do with it is load mozilla, and go to sites. I'm getting little to no
feedback when I try to read webpages with it, so I gave up on the mozilla
part of it

much as I know how to be able to get this to work.
