Re: [orca-list] GUI Redesign or clearup and modernization

yeah just read windows screen reader what's new pages. they're always 
fixing braille display bugs. last time i really used linux in late 2013 
it did 80 to 90% of what I wanted to do with my computer. but i missed 
the voice variety and more advanced audio games and also wanted to keep 
up with the windows world so went back to windows. if my dell latitude 
had not broken I would still have an extra laptop devoted to linux today.
