Re: [orca-list] Announcement: this mailing list will be retired by the end of Oct 2022

[Vojtech šmiro <vsmiro seznam cz>]

Hello,

it would be good to make new email list for example on google groups. I 
don't want use web forums, it would be incomfortable for me. List is 
better. If list won't be possible, Orca-list will end for me and I will 
be without any support. And that is first step to leave from Orca to 
Voiceover and Macbook, because I don't want Windows any more and Mac has 
more support than Orca will have.

Best regards

Vojta.
