Re: [orca-list] Orca works great.

I also would add that orca really has come along way since I started to 
use it. Probably the biggest gap on Linux it has filled is access to 
firefox, a browser which most websites support. There are other 
applications as well (eg. eclipse, skype through the pidgin plugin (only 
got that working recently, still got to try it out), openoffice (I know 
there are other ways of writing documents, eg. LaTeX, but sometimes you 
have to work with others and they work in word), etc) but firefox is 
probably the one I use most and value the most.

I do feel orca is now something one can rely on (well there are 
occasions where it goes wrong but its getting less and less) and I think 
because of how well orca works I am now prepared to look at other 
systems such as opensolaris where I may not have the back up of 
something like speakup (I hope to get YASR working on opensolaris as a 
back up but the need is getting less and less and YASR doesn't really 
substitute speakup).

So well done to the orca team and I look forward to what is to come in 2010.
