Re: [orca-list] Is anyone still using the Orca console setup?

Hi, Joanie:

I will actually have a good test bed, but not for a few days. I need to
first figure out, possibly with VMware's Tech Support, why I have no
audio in any of my VMs since upgrading to VMware 8.

Once that's fixed, I'm reinstalling Linux in a VM, and can keep careful
notes.

I hope to have this done by month's end. I'll report.
