Re: [orca-list] Do many users exclusively use Linux?

[luke <speakup lists tacticus com>]

I don't currently on my Gnome system, for the moment, as it is a laptop I 
use disconnected often, and I can't get the bloody BCM43xx wireless to 
actually connect to anything, even though it sees plenty of networks.

However on my other command line based systems I usually use alpine or 
even pine on one of them (sorry to those to whom that is an 
expletive--it's what I learned on under Sun/BSD systems, and I just never 
liked mutt).
