wrong mike, it is not as good as the jaws vertual buffer but even better.
specially the case mentioned here where the links says "click here "
will in many cases fail to convey the message even in vertual buffer.
I know it is bad accessibility practice but I did not author the page
either *smile*.
but with orca the text near to it or any where below or above it can
help to associate the link.
I will give one example.  now while I use gmail exclusively with orca,
I find it much more accessible then under windows.  and I will again
like to stress on the fact that orca still needs some finer
adjustments.  but despite of its little short comings I am still
pritty confirtable with it.
if orca had vertual buffers then given the current short comings of
this screen reader, I would have never used or recommended it for
browsing the web.
it is only the real view of a web page that can give as much pure and
perfect information as possible.
