Re: [orca-list] links list

Actually, some how I am very happy with the browsing experience on 
Firefox with Orca.
I won't go to the extent of saying that proprietary software is the 
clear winner because that's really not the case.
Besides, there is always a great probability that some one will just do it.
Such chances of "do or get it done if you like " only comes in free 
software.
Happy hacking.
