Re: [orca-list] OT Orca, Skype and accessibility workaround

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

I would just like to add that I agree with Jacob here, this stuff of 
free software V non-free software is not really on topic for this list 
and you will find much better places else where to go into that where 
people will be only too happy to join in.

I will only add best software is a personal oppinion, and the reasons 
for each of us making our decission will vary. I would like to maintain 
my freedom to choose free or non-free software for each task I perform 
rather than being forced to use free software for everything which may 
not always suit my requirements.

Now let's get back to using computers to complete tasks.
