hi
I agree with christopher on this one. I've used nvda before, though
thankfully not recently, and while it's not as bad as kyle says it can
be, it's got it's share of bugs, one of which is the presenting of one
link per line. Yes, this can be toggled off, but nvda's preferences
system is even more complicated than orca's, and I never can remember
where the option I want is. I find orca's system much better, and
there's always the o to jump past a block of links for pages who don't
know how to mark themselves up well
Thanks
