Re: [orca-list] vm player that works with orca

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

Also, I'm not sure what is meant by VMware Player not being accessible
with Orca. I use it daily, and I find it accessible. BTW, I run Orca
3.1.9-xdesktop on Ubuntu 11.04, and I'm using VMware Player 4.1. I run
Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.10 as guest OS's in VMware Player.
