Re: [orca-list] I just added an override regarding the forced disabling of the main window

[Robert cole <rkcole72984 gmail com>]

I mean this as kindly as possible. <smile>

I agree with Jason about the window's physical presence. One of the 
first things which I do when I get Orca up and running on a fresh system 
is to go into the preferences and disable the showing of the main window.

Sorry for the short message. Just wanted to add my two cents.

As with Jason, I am just so grateful to see the strides Orca is making. 
I am really excited to see what the future holds for Orca.

Thanks again, Joanie and all others working on accessibility!
