Re: [orca-list] Different desktop environments

I am definitely in that group, Jason.

Without those such as Joanie and other developers in the accessibility 
area, I could not use Linux. And going back to Windows full-time is not 
ideal for me. I have used Linux practically explicitly for nearly the 
past five years for a great number of reasons.

I am definitely thankful for all of the work which is being done on 
accessibility. I would literally be lost without it.
