Re: [orca-list] Flash freezes orca

This is really encouraging.

I've been using virtualbox for quite a while now and Ubuntu 11.10 is the 
first version where virtualbox has been at all accessible.

I'm aware of the work that has been going on to make QT accessible.

I have had some success interacting with virtualbox in 11.10 but had to 
resort to either flat review or falling back to the command line for 
most tasks.

So really good to hear that it's possible to create a VM from scratch in 
12.04.

Looking forward to the final release when it arrives!

As an aside, both Unity 2D and 3D should be fully accessible by 12.04 
and the notifications system should be fixed.

And the head up display sounds really cool!
